A. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. To protect the public, among other purposes, such provisions are intended to provide for permanently wholesome community environment, adequate municipal services and safe streets.
B. This title shall not apply to any lot or lots forming a part of a subdivision created and recorded prior to the original effective date of March 4, 1982, nor is it intended by this title to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws or ordinances, except those specifically repealed by this title, or with private restrictions placed upon property by deed, covenant or other private agreement or with restrictive covenants running with the land to which the city is a party. Where this title imposes a greater restriction upon land than is imposed or required by such existing provision of law, ordinance, contract or deed, the provisions of this title shall control.
C. Except as provided in this title, no person shall subdivide any tract of land which is located within the city except in conformity with provisions of this title. (Ord. 226, 11-1-2012)
