The provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety and general welfare consistent with the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1, et seq.). The provisions of Chapters 18A, 19 and 21 of the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of West Caldwell shall apply to this chapter, and, more particularly, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, all the terms, definitions and procedures contained in the Land Use Procedures Ordinance (Chapter 18A) of the Township of West Caldwell shall have the same meanings and shall be applicable in the interpretation and scope of this chapter.

It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws or ordinances, or any private restrictions placed upon property by covenant, deed or other private agreement; provided however that where this chapter imposes greater restrictions than those imposed by such other laws, ordinances, covenants, deeds or other private agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control.
