[Added 1-16-2008 by L.L. No. 1-2008[1]]
[1]
Editor's Note: This local law also repealed former Art. VII, Business District.
A. 
The purpose of this district is to provide areas located in the Town and in or adjacent to residential neighborhoods for various business uses which provide essential services, but that are limited in size and use to those that are compatible with nearby residential and similar small business uses. It is the specific intent of this district to prohibit uses which would be detrimental to or incompatible with adjoining residential use, community aesthetics, aquifer protection and pedestrian activity. This district is intended as a compatible transition area between residential, commercial and industrial areas because of the generally low traffic volumes associated with permitted uses, and hours of operation which make them compatible as transitional uses.
B. 
In addition to the requirements of this article, compliance with the applicable provisions of Article X, Aquifer Protection District, is required.
