(A) These regulations have been designed in the interest of the promotion of the public health, safety, convenience, comfort, prosperity, or general welfare of the residents.
(B) These regulations have been based upon the land use plan for the village which was adopted by the Planning Commission on January 10, 1995.
(C) Need for public services and facilities in both size and location depends upon the character and intensity of land use. Regulation of the use of land is thus fundamental to a coordinated optimum physical development of the community. The land use regulations are intended to be the foundation of the entire process of improvement of the physical environment.
(D) The regulations are intended to preserve and protect existing property uses and values against adverse or unharmonious adjacent uses.
(E) The land use regulations divide the area into a number of zoning districts as the comprehensive plan included careful estimates of the land area requirements for the various land uses such as commerce, residence, industry transportation, and public uses. These urban uses should be directed into that land area where they may be most efficiently served by public services and facilities such as sewers, water, schools, parks, and the like.
