Automobile Parking Districts and their regulations are established in order to promote the general convenience, welfare and prosperity of the community. More specific purposes are:
(a) To provide a transitional use of "buffer" area, generally between business and residence districts, wherein open land developments, such as parking areas and driveways, would be more appropriate than building developments;
(b) To provide areas for expansion of off-street parking where presently needed and to control the location of accessways to such parking areas;
(c) To protect adjacent residential neighborhoods from traffic congestion by setting limits, based on need, for future expansion of such parking facilities, and by establishing protective features along lines so defined.
(d) To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance with a well-considered plan and to stabilize and enhance property values.
