§ 160.113 INTERPRETATION AND INTENT.
   In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the health, safety, morals or general welfare. It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way to impair or interfere with any existing provisions of law or ordinances or any rules or regulations previously adopted pursuant to law relating to the use of building or premises; nor is it intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easement or covenants between parties; provided, however, that, where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises than are imposed by such existing provisions of law or ordinance or by such rules or regulations or by such easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control.

§ 160.116 EMERGENCY.
   The fact that the present zoning ordinance and regulations of the city are inadequate to properly safeguard the health, safety, morals, peace and general welfare of the inhabitants of the city, the city creates an emergency for the immediate preservation of the public which requires that this chapter shall become effective from and after the date of its passage, as provided by the Charter of the city, and it is accordingly so ordained.
(1998 Code, App. A, § 40-88)
§ 160.999 PENALTY.
   Any person or corporation violating or failing to comply with any provisions of this chapter shall be fined, upon conviction, not less than $10, nor more than $2,000, and each day any violation or non-compliance continues, shall constitute a separate offense.
