§ 50-644. Interpretation.  


Latest version.
  • In interpreting and applying the provisions of this article, the provisions shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the protection, promotion and improvement of the public health, safety, comfort, order, appearance, convenience, morals and general welfare of the community. It is not intended by this article to interfere with or abrogate or annual any easements, covenants or other agreements between parties; provided, however, where this article imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises, or upon the height of buildings, or requires larger open spaces than are imposed or required by other ordinances, rules, regulations or by easements, covenants or agreements, then the provisions of this article shall control. If, because of error or omission in the zoning map, or lack of a zoning map district specifically coinciding with the names of the zoning districts bounded on a future land use map in the adopted future land use map series referenced in section 50-662, any property in the county is not shown as being in a zoning district described in this article, the classification of such property shall be F/RR unless otherwise provided in this article, or otherwise changed by amendment to the zoning map or by subsequent zoning ordinances.
