(A) It is the intention of this zoning district to encourage commercial growth in appropriate areas, separated from residential uses as much as possible. Activities encouraged in the C-1 Commercial Zoning District include general retail stores and services, restaurants, local government services, specialty shops, and professional offices. This area should serve as the major commercial service area of the village, maintaining the character of the Central Business District.
(B) The Commercial District should encourage the development of coordinated, concentrated, commercial nodes in an area that allows the development of commercial uses, and encourages coordinated multiple-use commercial developments. The C-1 Commercial Zoning District serves the entire village and nearby residential areas and the traveling public, thus promoting and broadening the economic base of the village. The general goal for the Central Business District is to effectively enhance the overall image and character of the area by financing critical public improvements.
(C) Commercial development requires a variety of services and can result in traffic and parking demands and the need to introduce public parking, improve street lighting, and eventually provide water and sewer services. It is intended that the existence of commercial development will attract additional commercial activities and that by consolidating commercial development, public services can be provided more economically, and land use conflicts can be minimized.
