In interpreting and applying the provisions of the Zoning Code, such provisions shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of public peace, health, safety and general welfare. Except as specifically provided herein, it is not intended by this Code to repeal, abrogate or annul any existing provisions of any law or ordinance or any rule or regulation previously adopted or issued pursuant to law relating to the construction and use of structures and land; nor is it intended by this Code to interfere with, abrogate or annul any private easement, covenant, agreement or restriction; provided where this Code imposes greater restrictions upon size or location of buildings or use of the premises or requires larger or smaller lots, yards or other open spaces, than are otherwise required or imposed, the provisions of this Code shall control. In other cases of conflict between the provisions of this Code and any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, easement, covenant, agreement or restriction the more restrictive shall govern.
