In interpreting and applying the provisions of this Zoning Code, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare.
The lot or yard areas required by this Zoning Code for a particular building shall not be diminished and shall not be included as a part of the required lot or yard areas of any other building. The lot or yard areas of buildings existing at the time of the adoption of this Zoning Code shall not be diminished below the requirements herein provided for buildings hereafter erected, and such required areas shall not be included as a part of the required areas of any building hereafter erected.
This Zoning Code shall not be held to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with any existing or hereafter enacted provision of law or ordinance, or any rule or regulation previously adopted or issued, or which shall be adopted or issued pursuant to laws or ordinances relating to the use of buildings or premises, nor shall this Zoning Code be held to interfere with, abrogate or annul any easement, covenant or other agreement between parties. However, where this Zoning Code imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises or upon the height of buildings, or requires a larger yard area, than is imposed or required by such existing provisions of law or ordinance, by such rules or regulations, or by such easements, covenants or agreements, then the provisions of this Zoning Code shall control.
