§ 105-32. Legislative findings.

The Board of Trustees hereby finds that excessive similarity, dissimilarity or inappropriateness of design and the exterior appearance of buildings in the residential districts of the Village, in relation to the prevailing appearance of residential buildings in the vicinity thereof, would adversely affect the desirability of the immediate area and neighboring areas for residential purposes; discourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the Village; and impair the benefits of occupancy of existing property, impair the stability and value of both improved and unimproved real property and destroy a proper relationship between the taxable value of real property and the cost of municipal service provided therefor. The Board of Trustees further finds that inappropriateness of design of buildings in business districts would have similar adverse effects on both residential and business property. It is the purpose of this Article to prevent these and other harmful effects and thus to promote and protect the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community.
