A.
These
regulations and standards for the zoning, platting, subdividing and
development of land for urban use are to make provision for adequate
light, air, open space, drainage, traffic circulation, utilities and
other needs, to ensure the evolution and maintenance of a healthy,
attractive and efficient community. These regulations are designed
to:
1.
Implement
the City's plans for physical development, including plans for land
use and zoning, and the major street plan. It is the intention that
these regulations implement the planning policies adopted by the Board
of Aldermen for the City of St. Robert and that neither these regulations
nor any amendment to it may be challenged based on any alleged non-conformity
with any planning document.
2.
Provide
that the cost of infrastructure improvements which primarily benefit
the tract of land being developed shall be borne by the owners or
developers of the property which is proposed for development.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
