The zoning regulations and districts as set forth in this chapter have been made in accordance with a comprehensive plan. These zoning regulations and districts are designed to avoid congestion of the streets, secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers, and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. They are further intended to provide adequate light and air, prevent the overcrowding of land, avoid undue congestion of population, and facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, parks, and other public and quality of life requirements. They have been made with reasonable consideration, among other things, to the character of each district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the town and its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
