The purpose of this Zoning Ordinance is to promote and protect the public health, safety, convenience, comfort, prosperity and the general welfare by regulating and limiting the use of land and buildings. The intent is to maintain and enhance the semi-rural residential character of the Village by restricting and regulating the use of buildings and premises within designated districts to prevent congestion and the resulting dangers from lack of sewer and water facilities, and to provide for orderly growth.
In interpreting the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance they shall be held to be minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare. The provisions hereof are cumulative and are additional limitations on all other laws and ordinances heretofore passed or which may be hereafter passed governing any subject matter of this ordinance. The provisions of this ordinance shall be liberally construed to effectuate the purposes set forth herein.
The sections and subsections of this Zoning Ordinance are hereby declared to be mutually independent and the holding of any provision, section, subsection or portion thereof to be void, unconstitutional, or invalid for any cause shall not affect the validity of the ordinance as a whole or any other provision, section, subsection, or portion thereof.
