§ 1-41. Generally.

(a)

In the construction of this Code and of all ordinances of the city, the rules and definitions set out in this article shall be observed, unless such construction would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the city council. The rules of construction and definitions set out herein shall not be applied to any section of this Code which shall contain any express provision excluding such construction, or where the subject matter or context of such section may be repugnant thereto.

(b)

All general provisions, terms, phrases and expressions contained in this Code or in any other ordinance of the city shall be liberally construed in order that the true intent and meaning of the city council may be fully carried out.

(c)

In the interpretation and application of any provisions of this Code or of any other ordinance of the city they shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare. Where any provision of the Code imposes greater restrictions upon the subject matter than the general provision imposed by the Code, the provision imposing the greater restriction or regulation shall be deemed to be controlling.
