The purpose of the Retail District (R District) is to provide
an area for high-quality, retail commercial development that is compatible
with the essential character and scale of development of the Village.
Land uses including small specialty shops, services and restaurants
(along with incidental nonretail uses) are emphasized, although major
food or other store "anchors" are permitted to allow for the development
of shopping areas that meet a full range of shopping needs for the
citizens of Bannockburn as well as neighboring communities. Bulk regulations,
use limitations, and landscaping requirements are designed to allow
commercial development to exist and operate without detracting from
the overall community character of the Village. Indeed, a properly
planned and designed retail development can do much to enhance that
character.
The Retail District is designed and intended to be mapped only
east of the Milwaukee Road railroad right-of-way at the convergence
of Waukegan Road and Half Day Road, the two primary thoroughfares
serving the Village, where its impact upon the Village's character
and residential development can be minimized with appropriate site
plan and development restrictions. The Retail District is inappropriate
for mapping in any other area of the Village.

The purpose of the R-1 Specialty Retail District (R-1 District)
is to provide an area for high-quality, specialty retail commercial
development that is compatible with the essential character and scale
of development of the Village. The R-1 District is intended to encourage
development of major, stand-alone grocery and retail stores having
a unified development concept consisting of a single principal use,
with or without complementary ancillary uses. This is distinguished
from the R Retail District, in which small specialty shops, services,
restaurants, and incidental nonretail, including multi-tenant shopping
centers, are encouraged. Bulk regulations, use limitations, design
criteria, and landscaping requirements are intended to allow specialty
commercial developments to serve the shopping needs of the citizens
of the Village and others while enhancing the overall community character
of the Village.
The Specialty Retail District is designed and intended to be
mapped in the general vicinity of the northeastern quadrant of the
intersection of Waukegan Road and Half Day Road, being the two primary
thoroughfares serving the Village, where:
