Public Health is the Basis of All Land Use, Planning &
Regulation
"The concept
of public welfare is broad and
inclusive....
The
values it represents are spiritual as well as physical, aesthetic as well as
monetary.
It is
within the power of the legislature to determine that the community should be
beautiful as well as
healthy,
spacious
as well as
clean,
well
balanced as well as carefully
planned."
-U.S.
Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas
Berman
v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26, 33 (1954)
