(B) Further purposes of site plan approval shall include: privacy; efficiency for the public and local government servicing; preservation of the natural landscape; emergency access; effective drainage; vehicular and pedestrian safety and conveniences; prevention of air, water, and noise pollution; provision of screening and shade; and limitation of obnoxious odors, glare, and exposure to dangerous or toxic substances and wastes. The site plan review procedures and standards in this section are intended to provide a consistent and uniform method of review of proposed development plans.
