(a) In the interpretation and application, the provisions of this Ordinance shall be held to be minimum requirements, adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Zoning Administrator shall interpret this Zoning Code.
(b) It is not intended by this Ordinance to interfere with, abrogate or annul any easements, covenants, or other agreements between parties, nor is it intended by this Ordinance to interfere with, abrogate or annul any laws or regulations or permits previously adopted or issued, and not in conflict with any of the provisions of this Ordinance, or which shall be adopted or provided, pursuant to law, relating to the use of buildings or land, provided, however, that where this Ordinance imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or land than are required or imposed by such easements, covenants, or agreements between parties, or by such laws, resolutions, rules, regulations or permits, the provisions of this Ordinance shall govern.

It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that, if any provision or provisions of this Ordinance, or the application thereof to any zoning lot, building, or other structure, or tract of land, are declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or ineffective in whole or in part, or to be non-applicable to any person or situation, the effect of such decision shall be limited to the provision or provisions which are expressly stated in the decision to be invalid or ineffective to the zoning lot, building or other structure, or tract of land immediately involved in the controversy. All other provisions of this Ordinance shall continue to be separate and fully effective, and the application of any such provisions to other persons or situations shall not be affected.
