§ 68-4. Interpretation.

In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the protection, promotion and improvement of the public health, safety, comfort, order, appearance, convenience, morale and general welfare of the community. It is not intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or other agreements between parties; provided, however, where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of building or premises, or upon the height of buildings, or requires larger open spaces than are imposed or required by other ordinances, rules or regulations or by easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control. If, because of error or omission in the zoning map, any property in the city is not shown as being in a zoning district, the classification of such property shall be RU-75 single-family residential unless changed by amendment to the zoning map or by subsequent zoning ordinances.
