1. Regulate the type and intensity of the use of land and structures;

2. Regulate the placement of structures;

3. Require basic amenities for satisfactory relationships between land and building uses and public requirements; and

4. Organize the broad patterns of land use which will be of the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people over a long period of time.
