Zoning regulations are hereby defined as regulations restricting

open spaces, the density of population, the location and use of

buildings, structures and land, for trade, industry, residence,

recreation, or other purposes. For the purpose of such zoning

regulations, the territory of the District may be divided into

subdistricts of such number, shape and area as may be deemed best

suited to carry out the purpose of this act and shall be shown upon

the zoning plan; and within such subdistricts, the erection,

construction, reconstruction, alteration, or use of buildings,

structures, or land may be regulated and restricted. All such

regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings or

land uses throughout each subdistrict, but the regulations in one

subdistrict may differ from those in other districts. The

regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan,

and shall give reasonable consideration, among other things, to the

existing character of the subdistrict, its suitability for practical

usage, conserving the value of buildings and of existing

development, and encouraging the most appropriate use of land

throughout the District.

In formulating the zoning regulations, a survey shall be made of

the area to be zoned and information collected concerning the

topography of the land, the types of uses to which land and

buildings are currently put, the extent of development, the density

of population, the public utilities currently available,

transportation facilities, and other information pertinent to the

formulation of such zoning regulations. In each District created by

the zoning regulations, there shall be specified a maximum height of

buildings, the size of yards, courts and open spaces, the uses of

land and buildings permitted and the intensity thereof, and parking

requirements for vehicles. All of such requirements shall be

reasonable in view of the information obtained in the survey, in

order that the benefits hereinbefore named shall be secured to the

community as a whole.

The classification of the various uses of lands and buildings

shall provide separate subdistricts for single-family dwellings,

two-family dwellings, multiple-family dwellings, commercial areas

devoted to small shops or stores designed to serve limited

residential areas, and less restrictive business and industrial

uses. The intensity of use of lands and buildings shall not be

limited to less than one (1) family per lot of two (2) acres and the

regulation of yards and open spaces shall bear a relationship to the

uses of lands and buildings which are permitted in the subdistrict.

Height limitation and yard requirements of residential subdistricts

may be imposed upon a commercial subdistrict which is located

immediately adjacent to a dwelling subdistrict. The parking

requirements for vehicles shall bear reasonable relationship to the

uses permitted in the subdistrict, and the physical size and

arrangement of streets.
