districts set forth herein, the Board of Commissioners has given due and careful consideration to the pecu­liar suitability of each and every such district for the particular regulations applied thereto, the loca­tion and extent of each district and the necessary proper and comprehensive groupings and arrangement of the various uses and densities of population in accordance with a well considered plan for the develop­ment of the city, and in desirable relation to established plans in adjoining municipalities and unincorp­orated areas of the County of Clark. The boundaries of such districts as are shown upon the map adopted by this article or amendments, subsequent changes or supplements thereto, as are accomplished by the provisions of this article, are here­by adopted and approved and the regulations of this article governing the use of land, buildings and stru­ctures, the height of buildings and structures, building site areas, the sizes of yards about buildings and structures, and other matters as hereinafter set forth, are hereby established and declared to be in effect upon all land included within the boundaries of each and every district shown upon such map. In the event that any land may, at the time of adoption of this article or at any time subsequent thereto, be included within the corporate boundaries of the City, but shall not be delineated on the "Land use plan" such land shall be automatically classified as in the R-A District; provided, however, that those areas annexed to the City of Las Vegas which have been designated in a different zone than R-A by the for­mer governing body of the annexed area, and which zone classification has been previously recommended by the Regional Planning Commission, shall automatically be annexed with the corresponding zone classification as that existing prior to the annexation. SECTION 2. That by reason of the fact that large areas have recently been annexed to the City, and zone changes of large parts of said area annexed must be made immediately so that the construction of homes can be completed to alleviate the critical housing shortage, it is hereby declared that an emergency exists, and that this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety. SECTION 3. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. SECTION 4.
