B. 
Assure light, air and privacy, as far as possible, by controlling the spacing and height of buildings and other structures.
C. 
Protect residential areas against hazards of fire, offensive noise, vibration, smoke, odors, glare or other objectionable influences.
D. 
Prevent congestion, as far as possible, by regulating the density of population and the bulk of buildings and by providing for sufficient off-street parking.
E. 
Make possible provision of those public and private educational, recreational, health and similar facilities serving the needs of nearby residents, which perform most effectively in a residential environment and do not create objectionable influences.
F. 
Promote the most desirable use of land and direction of building development in accord with a well-considered plan, to promote stable residential development, to protect the character of any district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, to conserve the value of land and buildings and to protect the City's tax revenues.
