Residential districts and their regulations are established in order to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
(a) To regulate bulk and location of buildings in relation to the land in order to obtain proper light, air, privacy and usable open spaces on each zoning lot appropriate for the district;
(b) To provide lots with adequate width to accommodate the development of houses of contemporary standards of design;
(c) To regulate density and distribution of population in accordance with a plan to avoid congestion and to maintain adequate services;
(d) To assure that the capacity of the sewage treatment plant and trunk lines, planned and scheduled for construction and predicated upon these standards of development will not be exceeded;
(e) To protect against the added cost, delay and uncoordinated patterns of public school service areas which would accrue from changes in the planning and programming of the public school building program which has been predicated upon these standards of development;
(f) To provide protection from noxious fumes, odors, dust, excessive noises, invasion of abnormal vehicular traffic and other objectionable influences;
(g) To protect the desirable characteristics of both existing and planned residential development; to maintain stability; and
(h) To promote the most desirable and beneficial use of the land based upon the Comprehensive Plan.
