A. In interpreting and applying the provisions of this title, all decisions shall be based upon the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, morals, prosperity and general welfare.
B. It is not intended by this title to interfere with or abrogate or annul any ordinance, rule, regulation or permit previously adopted or issued and not in conflict with any of the provisions of this title, or which shall be adopted or issued pursuant to any law relating to the use of buildings or premises. Nor is it intended by this title to interfere with or annul any easement, covenant or other agreement between parties. Provided, however, that where this title imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises, or upon the height of buildings or required larger open spaces than are imposed or required by such ordinance, rule, regulation or permit, or by easement, covenant or agreement, the provisions of this title shall control.
C. Should any section or provision of this title be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of this title as a whole or any part thereof, other than the part so declared to be invalid. (Ord., 5-13-1968)
