The ordinance sets minimum standards for use of land. To be ^regulated will be the number of buildings ailtpwed on a lot, the size of the lots, the use of yards, placing of signs, off-street park ing and trailer parks. It is not retroactive and does not affect buildings .now benig used in con forming situations, Gary D. Hicks, of the Department of Con- eervation and Development’s Planning Division, pointed out. The K-page ordinance desig nate* 10 separate zoning dis tricts, and according to Hicks, was prepared; 1) to keep se quence in growth; 2) to keep from niixing land uses; 3) to get the uses in different zones and keep them separate, and; 4) to plan what is existing now and zone lor the future to help the town grow.
