In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, they shall be held to the minimum requirements for the promotion of public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. It is not intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or other agreements between parties; however, where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises or upon the height of buildings, or requires larger open spaces than are imposed or required by other ordinances, rules, regulations or by easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control. If, because of error or omission in the zoning map, any property in the city is not shown as being in a zoning district, the classification of such property shall be R-1 single-family unless changed by amendment of the zoning ordinance.
