(4)

Facilitate adequate and efficient provision for transportation systems, sewage disposal, water, energy, education, recreation, and other public service and facility needs.

(5)

Promote public health, safety, and welfare.

Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted or construed to give rise to any permanent vested rights in the continuation of any particular use, district, zoning classification of any permissible activities therein; and they are hereby declared to be subject to subsequent amendment, change or modification as may be necessary to the preservation or protection of public health, safety, and welfare.

Sections of this chapter shall be deemed to be severable and should any section, paragraph or provision hereof be declared by the courts to be unconstitutional or invalid, such holdings shall not affect the validity of this chapter as a whole or any part of it other than the part so declared to be unconstitutional or invalid.
