(a) Recognizing four basic needs:
(1) The need to expedite the decision-making process on land planning decisions that must be made in order to protect the public interest, health, safety and general welfare in the process of redevelopment;
(2) The need to separate the application of regulatory controls to the land from planning;
(3) The need to better protect and promote the interests of public and private elements of the community; and
(4) The need to expand the principles of fairness and due process in public hearings.
(b) The purpose of this chapter is to provide a system of considering and applying regulatory devices which will best satisfy these needs.
