A. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare. It is not intended by this title to impair, interfere with, abrogate, repeal or annul existing provisions of other laws or ordinances, except those contrary to or inconsistent with this title. Nor is it intended by this title to impair, interfere with or abrogate or annul existing private restrictions placed upon property by or with restrictive covenants running with the land; except, that where this title imposes a greater restriction upon the use of any premises or land than is imposed or required by existing provisions of contracts, covenants or other private agreements, the provisions of this title shall control. Any amendment to this title shall not invalidate variances, use permits, building permits or other permits validly issued prior to, and existing on, the effective date of such amendment.

B. Two-unit developments, as defined by Section 19.08.527, will be reviewed and approved under Chapter 19.77. In the event of a conflict between Chapter 19.77 and any other provisions of this title, Chapter 19.77 shall prevail. (Ord. 2022-10 § 5, 2023; Ord. 89-1 § 1, 1989.)
