To the extent that the provisions of these regulations are the
same in substance as the previously adopted provisions that they replace
in the City's zoning, subdivision or mobile home park regulations,
they shall be considered as continuations thereof and not as new enactments

ordinance. In addition, these regulations hereby endorse and ratify
all previous actions taken and decisions made by the Planning and
Zoning Commission.

Board of Aldermen reaffirms its commitment that these regulations
and any amendment to them be in conformity with adopted planning policies,
the Board of Aldermen hereby expresses its intent that neither these
regulations nor any amendment to them may be challenged on the basis
of any alleged non-conformity with any planning document. The provisions
of these regulations are to provide for the harmonious development
of incorporated areas within Sullivan for the coordination of highways
and streets within subdivisions with other existing or planned streets
or with other features of the Comprehensive Plan for Sullivan; for
adequate open spaces for traffic, recreation, light and air; and for
a distribution of population and traffic which will tend to create
conditions favorable to health, safety, convenience and prosperity.
