The purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures and standards for the development and subdivision of real estate within the corporate limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction of the city in order to, among other things, insure proper legal description, identification, monumentation and recordation of real estate boundaries; further the orderly layout and appropriate use of the land; provide safe, convenient and economic circulation of vehicular traffic; facilitate adequate provision of water, sewerage, schools, parks, playgrounds and other public requirements; provide adequate building sites which are readily accessible to emergency vehicles; to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; assure the proper installation of streets and utilities; promote the eventual elimination of unsafe or unsanitary conditions because of undue concentration of population; and help conserve and protect the physical and economic resources of the city and its environs.
