Modesto Municipal Code Art. 1 Purpose

This Title shall be known as "Zoning Regulations."

Zoning regulations are established to serve the public health, safety and general welfare and to provide the physical, economic and social advantages resulting from an orderly, planned use of land resources.

In interpreting and applying the provisions of this Title they shall be held to be the minimum requirement for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare. It is not intended that these regulations interfere with or abrogate or annul any easement, covenant or other agreement between parties. When this Title imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or land than are imposed or required by other ordinances, rules, regulations or by easements, covenants, or agreements, the provisions of this Title shall control.
