Sec. 30-424. - Purpose.

This section establishes general development policies for all residential development. These policies are derived from the general plan and serve the following purposes:

(1)

To ensure residential development is consistent with all elements of the general plan and other adopted plans.

(2)

To ensure development is adequately served by public services and facilities.

(3)

To ensure public health and safety concerns are addressed in the development process.

(4)

To ensure that residential development approvals are not predicated upon prevailing or predicted economic conditions or factors.

The policies are to be used in conjunction with the development standards specified in Division 4, Division 5 and Division 8 and the design guidelines outlined in Division 7. No project may be approved unless it conforms to the requirements of this section.
