This chapter is adopted for the protection and
promotion of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
of the community, as follows:
A.
To guide the future growth and development of the
City in accordance with a comprehensive plan of land use and population
density that represents the most beneficial and convenient relationships
among the residential, nonresidential and public areas within the
City, considering the suitability of each area for such uses, as indicated
by existing conditions, trends in population and mode of living and,
having regard for the use of land, building development and economic
activity, considering such conditions and trends both within the City
and with respect to the relation of the City to areas outside thereof.
B.
To provide adequate light, air and privacy; to secure
safety from fire and other danger; and to prevent overcrowding of
the land and undue congestion of the population.
C.
To protect the character and the social and economic
stability of all parts of the City and to encourage the orderly and
beneficial development of all parts of the City.
D.
To protect and conserve the value of land and buildings
appropriate to the various districts established by this chapter.
E.
To bring about the gradual conformity of the uses
of land and buildings throughout the City through the comprehensive
zoning plan set forth in this chapter and to minimize the conflicts
among the uses of land and buildings.
F.
To promote the most beneficial relation between the
uses of land and buildings and the circulation of traffic throughout
the City, having particular regard to the avoidance of congestion
in the streets and the provision of safe and convenient vehicular
and pedestrian traffic movements appropriate to the various uses of
land and buildings throughout the City.
G.
To provide a guide for public policy and action in
the efficient provision of public facilities and services and for
private enterprise in building development, investment and other economic
activity relating to uses of land and buildings throughout the City.
H.
To limit development to an amount equal to the availability
and capacity of public facilities and services.

to avoid hazardous conditions and excessive damage resulting from
stormwater runoff and flooding; and to encourage the appropriate use
and sound management of natural resources throughout the City.
J.
To preserve the natural beauty of the physiography
