(a) The Subdivision Regulations shall not apply to any lot or lots forming a subdivision or part thereof, created and/or recorded prior to the effective date of the Regulations. Nor is it intended by the Regulations to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws, regulations or restrictions placed upon property by deed, covenant or other private agreement or with restrictive covenants running with the land to which the Municipality is a party. Where these Regulations impose a greater restriction upon land than is imposed or required by such existing provisions of law, ordinance, contract or deed, the provisions of the Subdivision Regulations shall control. The Regulations shall govern the development of all types of land uses and it is the intent of the Regulations to develop a sound and wholesome community by regulating the design and improvements of all new subdivisions and/or redevelopment projects.
(b) The Subdivision Regulations may be modified by the degree deemed necessary by the Planning Commission and as approved by Council to accomplish the objectives and standards required tor the planned unit development of residential, commercial or industrial subdivisions, or a permitted combination thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1153.09. Nothing within such section, however, shall exempt the developer from the requirements of subdivision plat approval as specified in these Subdivision Regulations.
