The business 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.
General Business (GB) District. The purpose of the GB District is
to accommodate a mix of uses that cater to Avon residents, travelers,
and tourists, while also implementing the recommendations of the Village's
Comprehensive Plan. The GB District is intended to designate areas
for the development of larger scale commercial activities that depend
upon visibility for larger volumes of traffic. Development in the
GB District should respect the Village's traditional character and
walkability, enhancing both the public and private realms. Future
investment should include pedestrian and bicyclist access, Village-scaled
building and site design, and ample greenery and landscaping so as
to create a comfortable and inviting streetscape for all modes of
travel. Special attention should be given to the design of sites and
structures to create a welcoming gateway into the Village.
B.
Village Business (VB) District. The purpose of the VB District is
to maintain and enhance the historic character and vibrancy of the
Village of Avon's multistory, mixed-use 19th century main streets.
The VB District is characterized by its sidewalk connectivity, traditional
architecture, and dense concentration of activity with a high degree
of amenities that create an inviting streetscape for visitors arriving
on foot, bicycle, or by motor vehicle. Future development and investment
in the VB District shall be consistent with and positively contribute
to the existing pedestrian-friendly environment and historic character
of the Village with respect to building and site design. Existing
historically significant structures shall be preserved to the greatest
extent practicable. The restoration or rehabilitation of structures
for reuse is highly encouraged.
C.
Combination Business (CB) District. The purpose of the CB District
is to implement the recommendations of the Village's Comprehensive
Plan and provide for increased economic development opportunity in
neighborhoods where the provision of low-impact commercial, office,
and light industrial uses is desired. The intent of the CB District
is to permit the continuation and protection of residential uses in
combination with small-scale, limited commercial and industrial uses.
The development or adaptive reuse of structures is allowed, provided
the proposed structure and use is compatible with the scale, form,
and level of intensity of nearby existing structures and uses.
A.
Uses shall be permitted as noted by the use class in each business
district table and shall be subject to the bulk and dimensional requirements
contained therein.
B.
Uses denoted with a "P" are permitted by right.
C.
Uses denoted with an "SP" are specially permitted and shall require
the issuance of a special use permit.
D.
Uses not explicitly listed in the table shall be prohibited.
