In the event of a conflict between a provision of this chapter and any more restrictive provision of this code applicable to a particular development, the more restrictive provision shall apply.
(3) Every activity, operation or land use shall comply with the following performance standards regardless of the zoning district in which they are located. The Zoning Administrator may be responsible for insuring compliance with these performance standards and shall invoke the provisions for enforcement of compliance with these performance standards wherever there is reasonable evidence that performance standards are being violated by such use.
