The purpose of the Village District is to provide
an area for a variety of residential and commercial uses in a manner
appropriate to their location, an area in which the location of public
facilities can serve the greatest number of people as economically
as possible. The Village District will provide for continuation of
a village type development pattern at a density which is lower than
the Center Village District. This district will encourage the new
development that will take place in Alfred do so in the vicinity of
the existing village and within the service areas for water, public
safety, and schools. This district will also promote a type of development
that fits into the existing characteristics of the location being
developed.
The location and boundaries of the Village District
are established as shown on the Official Zoning Map and are a part
of this chapter.
