GENERAL PROVISIONS
These regulations are adopted for the following purposes.
(A) To protect and provide for the public health, safety and general welfare of the municipality.
(B) To guide the future growth and development of the municipality in accordance with the comprehensive plan.
(C) To establish reasonable standards of design and procedures for subdivisions and resubdivisions in order to further the orderly layout and use of land, and to ensure proper legal descriptions and monumenting of subdivided land.
(D) To ensure that public facilities and services are available concurrent with development and will have a sufficient capacity to serve the proposed subdivision. In addition, the community will be required to bear no more than its fair share of the cost of providing facilities and services through requiring the developer to pay fees, furnish land, or establish mitigation measures to ensure that the development provides its fair share of capital facilities needs generated by the development.
(E) To encourage the orderly development of the community through appropriate growth management techniques assuring the timing and sequencing of development, promotion of infill development in existing neighborhoods and nonresidential areas with adequate public facilities, and to protect environmentally critical areas and areas premature for urban development.
(F) To provide the most beneficial relationship between the uses of land and buildings and the circulation of traffic throughout the municipality, having particular regard to the avoidance of congestion in the streets and highways and the pedestrian traffic movements appropriate to the various uses of land and buildings. To provide for the proper location and width of streets and building lines.
(G) To prevent the pollution of air and water resources including ground water; to assure the adequacy of drainage facilities; and to encourage the wise use and management of natural resources throughout the municipality in order to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the community and the value of the land.
(H) To provide for open spaces through the most efficient design and layout of the land.
(I) To ensure that land is subdivided only when subdivision is necessary to provide for uses of land for which market demand exists and which are in the public interest.
(J) To remedy the problems associated with inappropriately subdivided lands, including premature subdivision, excess subdivision, partial or incomplete subdivision, scattered and low-grade subdivision.
