The
objectives of the zoning department are to serve the community
as a whole by promoting public health, safety, and morals
through orderly comprehensive development of the community.
Zoning provides a legal means of carrying out a responsible
plan for physical growth and development by designating
districts which provide for the orderly use of residential,
commercial and industrial areas. By encouraging the most
appropriate use of lands zoning helps to protect property
value and maintain the highest and best use for all properties. |
