In interpreting and applying the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, morals, prosperity and general welfare. It is not intended by the Zoning Ordinance to interfere or abrogate or annul any resolution, rule, regulation or permit previously adopted or issued, and not in conflict with any of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, or which shall be adopted or issued, pursuant to law relating to the use of buildings or premises and likewise not in conflict with the Zoning Ordinance; nor is it intended by the Zoning Ordinance to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants, or other agreements between parties; provided, however, that where the Zoning Ordinance imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises or upon the height of buildings, or requires larger open spaces or larger lot areas than are imposed or required by such other resolutions or agreements, the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance shall control. (Ord. 312. Passed 9-26-77.)
