    In their interpretation and application, the requirements of this Ordinance shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare.

    (b)

    Conflict With Public and Private Provisions:

    (1)

    Public provisions: This Ordinance is not intended to interfere with, abrogate or annul any order of a court of competent jurisdiction, statute, regulation, or other provision of law. Where any provision of this Ordinance imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other provision of County ordinances or regulations or other provisions of law, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose higher standards shall control unless the intent is clearly otherwise.

    (2)

    Private provisions: This Ordinance is not intended to abrogate any legally enforceable easement, covenant or any other private agreement, or restriction; provided, that where the provisions of this Ordinance are more restrictive or impose higher standards or regulations than such easement, covenant or other private agreement or restriction, the requirements of this Ordinance shall govern. Where the provisions of the easement, covenant or private agreement or restriction impose duties and obligations more restrictive, or higher standards than the requirements of this Ordinance, and such private provisions are not inconsistent with this Ordinance or determinations thereunder, then such private provisions shall be operative and supplemental to this Ordinance and determinations made thereunder.
