The performance standards in this division are established to
promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the public by creating
an objective and equitable basis to control potentially hazardous
and nuisance-like effects of various land uses and to ensure that
the community is adequately protected. These performance standards
may have the effect of limiting, restricting, and prohibiting the
ways in which otherwise permissible land uses may operate. In addition
to these established standards, there may be other applicable local,
state, and federal codes and standards that also apply.
