§ 112-1. Purpose.

The comprehensive zoning plan set forth in the text and maps which constitute this chapter is adopted in order to promote and protect public health, safety, comfort, convenience, prosperity and other aspects of the general welfare by providing adequate light, air and convenience of access; preventing undue concentration of population and overcrowding of land; preventing congestion in the streets; securing safety from fire, flood, panic and other dangers; and facilitating adequate provision for transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements. These regulations are made with reasonable consideration, among other things, to the peculiar suitability of each district for particular uses, with a view to encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the Village and conserving the value of buildings and lands therein.
