The zoning regulations and districts as herein set forth are made in accordance with a comprehensive Master Plan in order that adequate light, air, convenience of access, and safety from fire, flood and other danger may be secured; that congestion in the public streets may be lessened or avoided; and that the public health, safety, comfort, morals, convenience and general welfare may be promoted. They are made with reasonable regard to existing conditions, the character of buildings erected in each district, the most desirable use for which the land in each district may be adapted and the conservation of property values throughout the city and the unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of the City Plan Commission. The comprehensive Master Plan shall be kept on file in the office of the Plan Commission and shall be available for public inspection during regular business hours. The Master Plan addresses residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, water and sewer needs and plans for the implementation of those improvements.
