§ 13-2. Purpose

The purpose of this Zoning Code is to promote the public health, safety, general welfare and preserve and enhance the aesthetic quality of the city by providing regulations to ensure that an appropriate mix of land uses occur in an orderly manner.

(a) Establish and maintain a balance of land uses throughout the community to preserve the residential character of the city at a level no greater than can be supported by the infrastructure.

(b) Ensure the long term productivity and viability of the community's economic base.

(c) Promote land use patterns and development which contribute to community and neighborhood identity.

(d) Ensure correlation between buildout of the general plan land use map and master plan of highways.
