congestion in the streets; to conserve health; to secure safety from
fires, panic and other dangers; to provide adequate light and air;
to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration
of population and to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation,
water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; to
conserve the value of land and buildings; to encourage the most appropriate
use of land throughout the City; and to preserve and increase its
amenities and to encourage an orderly expansion of the tax base by
