26.04.050 INTERPRETATION.

In interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to minimum requirements, except where they are expressly stated to be maximum requirements. It is not intended to impair or interfere with any private restrictions placed upon property by covenant or deed; provided, however, that where this title imposes a greater restriction upon the subdivision of land than is imposed or required by such private restrictions, the provisions of this title shall control.

Whenever any provision of this title and any other provision of this code, or resolution of any kind, imposes overlapping or contradictory regulations with respect to the subdivision of land, or contains any restrictions covering any of the same subject matter, that provision which is more restrictive or imposes higher standards or requirements shall govern.

Whenever requirements are set forth in general terms in this title, the details of such requirements may be set forth in policies adopted from time to time by the Planning Commission and/or the Council.
