§ 153.064 DC: DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

   (A)   Map.

   (B)   Intent and purpose.

      (1)   The purpose of the Downtown Commercial (DC) District is to serve as the central anchor of the village, accommodating a compact mixture of land uses in an integrated fashion which reflects historical development patterns.

      (2)   A variety of commercial uses will allow the convenient transaction of goods and services, but also serve as a desirable gathering place for social interaction and encourage residential use through a variety of housing options.

      (3)   This District is intended to be a highly walkable environment through design elements that enhance pedestrian safety and comfort, and is supported by on-street and shared parking lots. The historic architecture downtown is to be preserved to the greatest extent possible through adaptive reuse of existing buildings, recognizing that some structures are beyond repair and are more appropriate for demolition as to not stymie future investment and development.
