# Exeter City Zoning Code
## INTRODUCTION
Exeter, at this time, is in an excellent position to develop a series of goals and
objectives for future town growth. The community presents, with minor exceptions,
an unspoiled landscape which the people of Exeter and the town government have expressed
a firm commitment to preserve through the adoption of a comprehensive plan. Now our
Town can take positive actions to avoid the mistakes of other communities.
The general objectives of this zoning ordinance are: To utilize all land resources
wisely and to prevent the despoiling of agricultural land and woodland (prime community
resources); to protect residential area while maintaining the environment along with
adequate open space, recreation, and community facilities; to limit high population
concentrations in areas where soil conditions and terrain may not possess the capability
for serving a high density population; to preserve the purity of individual water
supply systems and surface and groundwater resources; to recognize the fact that future
population densities must be kept at a point which will not jeopardize the natural
environment and fresh water supply; and to provide commercial areas to enterprises
to serve the community's needs, but limiting long strips of business to prevent impairment
of normal highway functions.
It is ordained by the Town Council of the Town of Exeter as follows:
