            <p class="p0">
               The provisions set forth in this ordinance are designed to insure that development
               within the planning jurisdiction of Halifax County will be orderly, attractive, and
               economically sound. An adequate highway system will be facilitated by regulating building
               setbacks so as to provide for expansion of existing roads and development of proposed
               roads. Adequate light and air will be insured by regulating the width and depth of
               yards. Healthful sanitary conditions will be maintained by regulating lot sizes in
               accordance with soil characteristics in the county. Certain specialized developments
               such as planned unit developments and mobile home parks may be permitted under specific
               conditions. These developments must be constructed in full accordance with an approved
               site plan and general development criteria which are intended to give latitude and
               flexibility in design and at the same time insure the protection of surrounding properties.
               Finally, by regulating the uses permitted in an established zoning district, all areas
               can be developed to their full potential without fear of nearby incompatible development.
