§ 1.5. Conflicting provisions.

A.

Minimum requirements. The provisions of this Ordinance shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare.

B.

Conflict with other public laws, ordinances, regulations, or permits. This Ordinance is intended to complement other city, state, and federal regulations that affect land use. This Ordinance is not intended to revoke or repeal any other public law, ordinance, regulation, or permit. However, where conditions, standards, or requirements imposed by any provision of this Ordinance are either more restrictive or less restrictive than comparable standards imposed by any other public law, ordinance, or regulation, the provisions that are more restrictive or that impose higher standards or requirements, as determined by the director, shall govern.

C.

Conflict with private agreements. This Ordinance is not intended to revoke or repeal any easement, covenant, or other private agreement. However, where the regulations of this Ordinance are more restrictive or impose higher standards or requirements than such easement, covenant, or other private agreement, then the requirements of this Ordinance shall govern. Nothing in this Ordinance shall modify or repeal any private covenant or deed restriction, but such covenant or restriction shall not excuse any failure to comply with this Ordinance. In no case shall the city be obligated to enforce the provisions of any easements, covenants, or agreements between private parties.
