In drawing the Zoning Ordinance and districts with reasonable consideration of the
Comprehensive Plan, it is a stated and express purpose of this Zoning Ordinance to
create land use regulations which shall encourage the realization and implementation
of the Comprehensive Plan. To this end, development is: to be encouraged to take place
in clusters to promote efficient and cost effective use of land; to be situated as
to make possible future economies in the provision of services by the private and/or
public sector; and to be so located as to protect the watersheds and shoreland areas,
protect surface and groundwater supplies, discourage development in floodplains, wetlands,
and conservation areas and strips.
