This title shall apply to the incorporated area within the city.

In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to be minimum requirements, adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety or general welfare. Wherever the requirements of this title are at variance with the requirements of any other lawfully adopted rules, regulations, ordinances, deed restrictions or covenants to which the city is a party, the most restrictive or that imposing the higher standards shall govern. The comprehensive plan shall be considered controlling where any of these regulations conflict with the comprehensive plan. (Ord. 1634, § 8, 2004.)
