The legislative intent of this article is to
define and establish uniform regulations for specific areas in the
Village of Groton where residential concentrations and a variety of
nonresidential land uses provide a community service center; where
a pattern of medium-to-high-density residential development and concentrations
of compatible nonresidential land use activities are in keeping with
broad planning objectives; and, where land use controls are needed,
to preserve and enhance the general environmental quality.
