(A) This zoning code shall be strictly construed and may not be extended by implication except where the intention of the city must prevail. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this zoning code shall be held to be minimum requirements.
(B) Whenever this zoning code imposes a greater restriction than is imposed or required by other provisions of law or by other rules, regulations, resolutions, or ordinances, the provisions of this chapter shall govern.
(C) All future structures and uses of premises within the city shall conform with all applicable provisions of this chapter. Each zoning district is established to permit only those uses specifically listed as permitted, except as hereinafter provided under the nonconforming use provisions, and is intended for the protection of those uses. No other uses will be permitted except by an issued variance.
