(4) To provide for access of light and air to windows and for privacy, as far as possi- ble, by controls of the height of buildings and other structures. (5) Tb promote the most desirable use of land and building development, to protect the character of each district and its suitabil- ity for particular uses and to conserve the value of land and buildings.
