In interpreting and applying the provisions
of this chapter, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements
for the promotion of the public health, safety, convenience, comfort
and general welfare. It is not intended by this chapter to interfere
with or abrogate or annul any easement, covenant or other agreement
between parties; provided, however, that when this chapter imposes
a greater restriction on the use of buildings or land or on the heights
of buildings or requires larger open spaces or makes any other greater
requirements than any imposed or required by any other ordinance,
rule, regulation or by easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions
of this chapter shall control. Where the requirements of this chapter
differ from the requirements of another ordinance, the more restrictive
shall govern.
