THE VILLAGE HAS AN OBLIGATION TO THE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BUILT THEIR HOMES HERE BASED UPON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE ADJOINING LANG USES HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED BY THE VILLAGE ZONING ORDINANCE TO PROTECT THE VALUE AND THE FULL ENJOYMENT Of THEIR HOMES. THEREFORE, A REZONING WHICH WOULD TEND TO DEPRECIATE THE VALUE OR TO INHIBIT THE FULL ENJOYMENT OF THESE PROPERTIES SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED WITHOUT STRONGLY COMPELLING REASONS FOR SUCH ACTION. 3. "'MILE THE PLANNING COMMISSION GIVES DUE CONSIDERATION TO THE ARGUMENTS OF PROPERTY OWNERS REQUESTING A REZONING FOR THEIR PROPERTYO AND TO THE DESIRES OF SURROUNOING RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS, IT MUST BE GUIDED IN ITS RECOMMEND- ATIONS BY CONSIDERATIONS OF THE FUTURE WELFARE AND BEST INTERESTS OF THE ENTIRE VILLAGE.
