The objective of the Zoning Law is to establish standards and policies concerning development of land which may be used in helping to achieve the goals of a General Development Plan for the Virgin Islands. Goals for development of the Islands are expressed in many ways through programs and policies on such matters as land use, taxation, capital improvements, urban renewal, public services and other matters which require public decision.
It is intended that standards and policies established by the Zoning Law reflect and express a sense of community value toward its physical environment including the value appearance and congenial arrangement for conduct of trade, industry, residence and other uses of the land necessary to the community's well-being, insofar as such values can be related to the broadest goals of the general community development plan.
It is further intended that the zoning districts established by this law shall be implemented in accordance with a comprehensive land use plan and policy whereby the location of each district shall be made with reasonable consideration to the character of the district and its peculiar suitability.
