E. Avoid a concentration of structures adjoining each other or juxtaposed too closely together in close proximity to each other;
F. Promote a safe, effective traffic circulation system;
G. Require adequate off-street parking and truck loading facilities;
H. Facilitate the appropriate location of community facilities and institutions;
I. Coordinate land use policies and regulations of the city in order to facilitate the transition of land areas from county to municipal jurisdiction and to protect agricultural producers in areas planned for urban expansion;
