In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, said provisions shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, prosperity and general welfare. It is not intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any law, ordinance, rule, regulation or permit previously adopted or issued, and not in conflict with any of the provisions of this chapter, or which shall be adopted or issued pursuant to law relating to the use of buildings or premises, and likewise not in conflict with this chapter; nor is it intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or other agreement between parties; provided, however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or land or upon the height of buildings, or requires larger open spaces, or larger lot areas than are imposed or required by such ordinance or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control. Where, however, the provisions of the State Housing Code or other ordinances or regulations of the city impose requirements for lower heights of buildings or less percentage of lot that may be occupied, or require wider or larger courts or deeper yards than are required by any ordinance or regulation which may be adopted by the city under the provisions of this chapter, the provisions of said State Housing Code or other ordinance or regulation shall govern.
