The purpose of the Multifamily/Office District is to ensure
that any future development of the large lots on the east side of
Broadway north of Strawberry Lane and south of the MF District maintains
the scenic character of Broadway, a prominent gateway to the Village;
reflects the current and historic uses of these properties; encourages
the preservation of historic structures; and promotes a diversity
of housing in the Village. The Multifamily/Office District permits
a mix of residential, commercial, and institutional uses in a manner
that maintains the character of the large properties with deep setbacks
and open landscapes.
