The Village of Peninsula is a small community with a rich history of agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and tourism related uses. It is essential that all use areas be given adequate protection, that agricultural uses may continue to coexist with residential uses, and that residential areas may develop in an orderly manner. It is essential that commercial uses have an equal degree of protection to promote and preserve the Main Street and nearby shopping areas and provide adequate off-street parking facilities which will tend to keep customers coming to said shopping areas. It is also recognized that the purpose of industry and commerce is to provide the means for a decent and respectable life for the citizens of a community. With regard to the interests of public health, safety, convenience, prosperity, and general welfare, it is essential that residential areas be suitably located in relationship to industry and commerce, and that they be protected against the intrusions which will interfere with decent living conditions. It is essential that all of the uses of land and buildings within the Village be so related as to provide for economy in government in such a manner that they may mutually support each other and each derive the greatest benefit from industry, commercial, and residential areas.
