The development and execution of zoning regulations is based upon the division of the village into districts in which the use of land and buildings and the bulk and location of buildings and structures in relation to the land are substantially uniform. It is recognized by the village that new types, procedures and relationships in land development are emerging and that the mixing of uses and variations in bulk regulations within districts can produce very satisfactory, desirable and lasting results, if properly designed and planned, without adverse influence upon surrounding property. The following standards are established to provide flexibility, to encourage sound and imaginative design, and to guard against the use of the planned development technique solely as a means to intensify the use of land.
