In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be construed to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of public health, safety, convenience, comfort and general welfare. It is not intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any other resolution or rules, regulations or permits previously adopted or issued or which shall be adopted or issued, not in conflict with any of the provisions of this chapter except ordinances and/or regulations specifically repealed by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or agreements between parties, provided, however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises or upon the area than that imposed or required by other resolutions, easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control. This chapter should be reviewed periodically to assure the use of good practical principles of planning, dealing with zoning and land use.
