(a) Buildings and land shall be used; and the use of buildings and land shall be changed or extended; and buildings shall be designed and erected; and existing buildings or uses shall be altered, converted, enlarged, reconstructed or moved only in conformance with this Planning and Zoning Code.
(b) The provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code shall be considered as minimum requirements and shall be literally construed to further its underlying purposes and objectives. They shall apply uniformly to each class or kind of building, structure or land. Where the provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code impose greater restrictions upon buildings, structures, uses or land than imposed or required by other codes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or restrictive covenants running with the land, this Planning and Zoning Code shall govern; and conversely, other regulations shall govern where they are more restrictive than this Planning and Zoning Code.
(c) The classification of districts set forth in Chapter 1119 shall not be construed as an enumeration of most restrictive to least restrictive districts. Neither shall it be construed that a use permitted in a certain district shall be permitted in a district which is enumerated subsequently, unless such use is specifically listed as permitted in such subsequent district.
(d) This Planning and Zoning Code shall not be construed as removing or rendering inoperative any deed or land restriction established by restrictive covenants running with the land, easements or other agreements between parties.
(e) The regulations set forth herein shall be applicable to all buildings, structures, uses and land of any political subdivision, district, taxing unit or bond issuing authority of the State, including the State, located within the corporate limits of the Municipality.
