• (a) This chapter shall not repeal, annul or impair any existing provisions of law, this chapter, other ordinances or any rules or regulations previously adopted or issued or which shall be adopted or issued pursuant to law relating to the use of buildings or premises. However, wherever the terms of this chapter require a greater width or size of yards or other open spaces, a lower height of building or less number of stories or a greater percentage of lots to be left unoccupied or impose other greater standards than are required in any other statute, ordinance or regulation, the provisions of this chapter shall govern. Wherever the provisions of any other statute, ordinance or regulation require a greater width or size of yards, courts or other open spaces, a lower height of building or less number of stories or a greater percentage of lots to be left unoccupied or impose other higher standards than are required in this chapter, the provisions of such statute, ordinance or regulation shall govern.

• (b) All variances and exceptions heretofore granted by the zoning board of review, and approvals by other zoning enforcement bodies, shall remain in full force and effect, and all terms, conditions and obligations imposed by the board or other zoning enforcement agency shall remain in effect and be binding to the same extent as if this chapter had not been enacted. All violations of previous provisions shall be punishable as if they had not been repealed and shall remain in effect insofar as required for the initiation of any proceedings against such violations and for the prosecution of any violations heretofore commenced.
