The intent of the Borough in permitting development
pursuant to this article is as follows:
A. To provide for an intensity and type of land use that
is compatible with and supportive of the use of public transportation.
B. To recognize that by having land use patterns that
encourage use of public transit opportunities, traffic in the community
can be reduced and travel choices for residents can be expanded.
C. To encourage redevelopment of obsolete properties
whose prior or present uses adversely impair the property or surrounding
properties.
D. To provide for flexibility in lot sizes, setbacks,
and other area and bulk requirements so that imaginative and innovative
designs can be developed.
E. To encourage mixed-use development consistent with
small town character.
F. To ensure that mixed-use development is consistent
in character in their residential and nonresidential components.
G. To encourage the provision of a pedestrian environment
and to promote a pedestrian-orientation of buildings and streets.
H. To encourage development that has open and recreational
spaces as focal points.
I. To create
a transition between the commercial and mixed-use core and the less
dense, less intense surrounding areas of the Borough.
