B.Â
The commercial district names and map symbols are intended to provide
a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting
the intensity, scale, and/or type of uses permitted.
A.Â
General Commercial (GC) District. The purpose of the GC District
is to accommodate a mix of uses that cater to Village residents, travelers
and tourists, while also implementing the recommendations of the Village's
adopted Comprehensive Plan. The GC District is intended to designate
areas for the development of larger scale commercial activities that
depend upon relatively significant volumes of motor vehicle traffic.
In addition to accommodating vehicular traffic, development within
the GC District shall incorporate bicycle and pedestrian amenities
and circulation, including linkages to adjacent activity centers and
neighborhoods. Development within this district shall employ proper
design and buffering techniques of parking facilities, bicycle racks,
access points, and structures to create welcoming gateways into the
Village.
B.Â
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) District. The purpose of the NC District
is to facilitate increased economic development opportunity along
major corridors within the Village that have, or traditionally have,
presented residential character in the architectural detailing and
design of original structures. The intent of the district is not only
to permit the continuance of residential uses in these areas, but
also to include commercial use operations of limited scale and intensity.
New construction and/or the conversion of structures originally built
for residential purposes is allowable, provided the residential character
and walkability are maintained.
C.Â
Village Center (VC) District. The purpose of the VC District is to
maintain and enhance the character and vibrancy of the Village's uptown
and downtown in a manner that is consistent with the traditional,
early 20th century Main Street as demonstrated in the Village's Commercial
Design Guidelines. The VC District allows for flexibility in the location,
design and use of structures and land to foster a dense concentration
of activity with a high degree of amenities that creates a comfortable
streetscape for visitors arriving on foot, bicycle, or by motor vehicle.
Future development and investment in the VC District shall be consistent
with and positively contribute to the existing pedestrian-friendly
environment and historic character with respect to building and site
design.
Uses are allowed in commercial districts within the Village
in accordance with Table 21.3 below.
A.Â
Uses identified with a "P" in the table are permitted as-of-right
in the zoning district, subject to compliance with all other applicable
standards of this chapter.
B.Â
Uses identified with a "SP" in the table may be allowed if reviewed and approved in accordance with the special use permit procedures contained in Article 52 of this chapter.
C.Â
Uses not listed and those identified with a "-" are expressly prohibited.
