(A) In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, morals, convenience, and general welfare. The City Plan Commission has given consideration to the existing and future probable use of land in the territory affected by this chapter, and has prepared a master plan showing the future development of this area, which has served as a guide in the preparation of this chapter.
(B) It is not intended by this chapter to interfere with, abrogate, or annul any easements, covenants, or other agreements between parties; nor any ordinances, rules, regulations, or permits previously adopted or issued, or which shall be adopted or issued and which are not in conflict with any of the provisions of this chapter. However, where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or land, or requires larger open spaces or greater lot area per family, than are required or imposed by any easements, covenants, or agreements between parties, or by any ordinance, rules, regulations, or permits, the provisions of this chapter shall control.
