A. 
In the event of conflicts between the provisions of this chapter and any other ordinance or regulation, the more restrictive provisions shall apply.
B. 
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be considered minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
C. 
In interpreting the language of this chapter to determine the extent of the restriction upon the use of property, the language shall be interpreted, where doubt exists as to the intended meaning of the language written and enacted by the City Council, in favor of the property owner and against any implied extension of the restriction.

G. 
To promote stormwater management, soil and water conservation;
H.

I. 
To promote coordinated and practical community development; and
