overcrowding of the land, to avoid undue concentration of population,
to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage,
schools, parks, and other public requirements, as well as the conservation
of the value of land and buildings. These were made with reasonable
consideration of the existing character of the various areas of the
Borough and their respective suitability for particular uses.
