               The purpose of this ordinance is to establish procedures and standards for the development
               and subdivision of land within the territorial jurisdiction of the County of Halifax.
               It is further designed to provide for the orderly growth and development of the county;
               for the coordination of streets and highways within proposed subdivisions with existing
               or planned streets and highways and with other public facilities; for the dedication
               or reservation of recreation areas serving residents of the immediate neighborhood
               within the subdivision and of rights-of-way or easements for street and utility purposes;
               and for the distribution of traffic in a manner that will avoid congestion and overcrowding
               and will create conditions essential to public health, safety, and general welfare.
               This ordinance is designed to further facilitate the resubdivision of larger tracts
               into smaller parcels of land.
