§ 46-311. Statement of purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The major economic function of the CBD central business district is that of a specialty center. It is also the intent of the CBD district to permit a mixture of mutually supporting convenience, comparison, specialty, and service commercial uses serving a trade area including the village and adjacent communities. The standards contained in this division are designed to promote a compact development pattern with continuous retail frontage, a convenient pedestrian shopping experience, and compatible building appearance. Preservation of the village historical character is an essential element. Uses allowed in this district should complement each other, not adversely impact vehicular or pedestrian circulation or the overall image and function of the district. Parking or the future provision for such must be an integral part of any development. The development concepts and plans embodied in the development plan and tax increment financing plan of the village downtown development authority should be used as guidelines in any new development or redevelopment.
