(b)Adhere to proposed local and State master plans;
(c)Minimize the need for special exceptions, zoning variances, or non-conforming uses;
(d)Plan flood plain uses in ways that will minimize wetlands loss, flood damage, the need for federally-funded flood protection or flood relief, or any decrease in the public value of the flood plain as an environmental resource; and
