It is the purpose of this subchapter to require site plan review and approval for all buildings, structures, and uses, because they can be expected to have a significant impact on natural resources, traffic patterns, adjacent parcels, and the character of future development. The regulations contained herein are intended to provide and promote the orderly development of the city; safe and convenient traffic movement, both within a site and in relation to access streets; the stability of land values and investments, by preventing the erection of structures, additions, or alterations thereto without proper attention to setting, aesthetic considerations, or to unsightly or undesirable appearances; harmonious relationship to buildings, other structures and uses, both within a site and/or adjacent sites; the conservation of natural amenities and resources; and to otherwise protect the general safety, health, and welfare of the city.
