To protect residential areas against fire, explosion, noxious fumes, offensive noise, smoke, vibrations, dust, odors, heat, glare and other objectionable factors;

2.

To protect residential areas to the extent possible and appropriate in each area against unduly heavy motor vehicle traffic, especially through traffic, and to alleviate congestion by promoting off-street parking;

3.

To protect residential areas against undue congestion of public streets and other public facilities by controlling the density of population through regulation of the bulk of buildings;

4.

To protect and promote the public health and comfort by providing for ample light and air to buildings and the windows thereof;

5.

To promote public comfort and welfare by providing for useable open space on the same zoning lot with residential development;

6.

To provide sufficient space in appropriate locations to meet the probable need for future residential expansion and to meet the need for necessary and desirable services in the vicinity of residences, which increase safety and amenity for residents and which do not exert objectionable influences;

7.

To promote the best use and development of residential land in accordance with a comprehensive land use plan, to promote stability of residential development and protect the character of such development, and to protect the value of land and improvements and so strengthen the economic base of the Village.
