Whenever the Planning Commission certifies to the Council thereof any plan for districting or zoning of the municipality according to the bulk and location of buildings and other structures (including percentage of lot occupancy, set back building lines, and area of yards, courts, and other open spaces), then the Council may, in the interest of the promotion of the public health, safety, convenience, comfort, prosperity, or general welfare, regulate the bulk and location of buildings and other structures thereafter erected or altered, the percentage of lot occupancy, set back building lines, and the area of yards, courts, and other open spaces and for these purposes may divide the municipality into districts of a number, shape, and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out the purposes of this section. Any regulation imposing a lower percentage of lot occupancy, wider or larger courts, deeper yards, or other more strict limitations than those provided by state statute shall, within the district for which it is imposed, prevail over the limitations provided by state statute.
