The text
Site planning and general development standards regulate the use of a building or land and are established to minimize public hazards and prevent the creation of nuisances and other conditions that are potentially harmful or discomforting to the users of the project or surrounding area. The purpose of these standards is to protect and improve the environment and the appearance of the community, and to deter blighting and nuisance conditions.
