The Gateway Business District is created to recognize the existing
business uses that occupy the entrance to the historic Village of
Rhinebeck adjacent to the Town of Rhinebeck. The standards established
below are designed to encourage architecture compatible with historic
Rhinebeck. As the uses in the Gateway Business District evolve, high-quality
landscaping is encouraged to unify the district. Improved pedestrian
access between the businesses should be encouraged to reduce vehicle
trips, and signage should be brought into compliance.
