1. the desirability of adjacent and surrounding properties is enhanced;
2. the benefits of occupancy of adjacent and surrounding properties are improved;
3. the value of surrounding properties is increased;
4. appropriate development of adjacent and surrounding properties is encouraged; and
5. the maintenance and improvement of surrounding properties is encouraged, resulting in the enhancement of the health, safety, aesthetics, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the area and the inhabitants of the city at large.
