A. 
In the interpretation of the provisions of this chapter, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements and standards adopted for the protection and promotion of the public health, safety, morals and welfare. It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way affect the provisions of other ordinances; the provisions of the laws, rules or regulations prescribed by the state or federal government or any of their respective regulatory agencies; or private restrictions placed upon property (or restrictive covenants running with the land) and imposed by deed or other private agreement.

In cases where other ordinances of the Borough (or any codes adopted thereby) or where the laws of the state or federal government or the rules or regulations prescribed by their respective regulatory agencies impose a greater restriction or a stricter requirement upon any act, conduct, use, occupancy, change, condition or work than is imposed by this chapter, or in cases where private restrictions or private covenants running with the land impose a greater restriction or a stricter requirement upon any act, conduct, use, occupancy, change, condition or work than is imposed by this chapter, such ordinances, codes, laws, rules, regulations, private restrictions or private covenants shall control. However, where this chapter imposes a greater restriction or a stricter requirement, this chapter shall control.
