A. This title is adopted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, and general welfare of the city's population, and to promote an orderly balanced use of land, and to guide the city's future growth through comprehensive, consistent and careful planning.

B. To most effectively accomplish these purposes, this title divides the city into zones wherein the location, height and use of buildings, the use of land, the size of yards and other open space, and the provision of advertising signs, off-street parking and loading are regulated and restricted in accordance with a comprehensive plan for the use of land in the city. These zones and regulations are made with due consideration of economics and financial resources, physical pattern of the lands, environment, cultural, and basic needs of the citizens of the city, and among other things, the particular character of each zone and its suitability for specific use, keeping foremost in mind the effect of noise, odor, dust, glare, and safety hazards affecting adjoining zones; also, remembering the reason and need for such uses, the common rights and interests of all within the zone as well as those of the general public, and with the view of encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the city.
