It is the intent of the Community Commercial District to encourage
the quaint character of the Village through complementary uses that
promote the Village's character and favor pedestrian activity. Properties
in this district are established to promote the environment for businesses,
protect the integrity of surrounding residential uses, and support
a healthy economy by providing a vibrant mix of uses. Careful consideration
is given to design elements that enhance the character of the Village
and encourage a sense of place in the Village. The uses established
in this district are intended to complement one another to provide
a concentration of specialty retail and service uses with cultural
and social activities that support a high level of nonmotorized activity,
but also accommodate vehicular traffic. It is the intent of the design
elements to de-emphasize the negative impacts of strip commercial
development and to strike a balance between the needs of the car and
pedestrian by creating pleasant and safe surroundings for pedestrians
and adjacent residential uses.
