It is recognized by this ordinance that there is a value to the public in establishing safe and convenient traffic movement to and from higher density sites, both within the site and on the access streets; that there is value in encouraging a harmonious relationship of buildings and uses both within a site and in relation to adjacent uses; that there is a value in insuring that new development is an investment in the continued quality of life of the community rather than a cost; and further, that there are benefits to the public in conserving natural resources. Toward this end, the review and approval of a development plan by the Executive Committee of the Plan Commission is required of certain buildings and types of development that can be expected to have an impact on natural resources, traffic patterns, and intensity, adjacent land uses, and the character of future urban development.
