B. It is the intention of the town in adopting this title to fully exercise all of the powers granted to the town by the provisions of the Utah municipal land use, development and management code, Utah Code Annotated section 10-9a-101 et seq., as amended, and all other powers granted by statute or by common law for the regulation of land uses and improvements. The intention of the town is to assure the managed, proper and sensitive/critical development of land within the town and to protect and enhance the quality of rural life in general. The code is intended to allow development in a manner that encourages the preservation of scenic values, historic structures, the unique agricultural setting of the town, and provide for well planned commercial and residential centers, smooth traffic circulation, and efficient delivery of municipal services. The code seeks to prevent development influenced by existing geologic hazards, erosion, flooding or other conditions that create potential dangers to life and safety in the community, or development that influences critical wildlife habitats, or developments that detract from the rural quality of life in the community.
