Section 1. - [Ordinance to be minimum requirements; error or omission in zoning map.]#
In interpreting and applying the provisions of this ordinance, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, prosperity or general welfare. It is not intended by this ordinance to interfere with, or abrogate or annul, any easements, covenants, or other agreement between parties; provided, however, that where this ordinance imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises or upon height of buildings, or requires larger open spaces than are imposed or required by other ordinances, rules or regulations, or by easements, covenants, or agreements, the provisions of this ordinance shall govern. If, because of error or omission in the zoning district map, any property in the City of Petersburg is not shown as being a zoning district, the classification of such property shall be classified "R-1" Single-Family Residence District, until changed by amendment.
Section 2. - Chesapeake Bay preservation areas.#
In any case where a parcel of land has been designated as a Chesapeake Bay preservation area as defined in the City of Petersburg Code of Ordinances section 122-31 of chapter 12, Waterways, as either a resource protection area or a resource management area, then the City of Petersburg Code of Ordinances chapter 122, article II, Chesapeake Bay preservation areas will apply, in addition to the requirements of this section.
