necessary to draft and adopt new code that establishes standards for the construction and reconstruction of residential
dwellings in certain zoning districts. Such standards will establish maximum limits on house size based on lot size and
are necessary to maintain the community character of the residential communities as called for in the Comprehensive
Plan.
