   (a)   Estate Residential District (ER). The purpose of the Estate Residential District (ER) is to provide a transition between more rural areas of the Village of Centerburg and adjacent jurisdictions, and more urbanized portions of the Village. These areas may or may not be served by public utilities yet but are still expected to develop at a lower density.
   (b)   Single-Family Residential District (R-1). The purpose of the Single-Family Residential District (R-1) is to encourage and provide for the orderly development of primarily low-density single-family homes and customary supporting residential facilities, such as schools, churches, parks, and open spaces.
   (c)   Single-Family Residential District (R-2). The purpose of the Single-Family Residential District (R-2) is to provide for the orderly development of primarily moderate-density single-family homes and customary supporting residential facilities, such as schools, churches, parks, and open spaces.
   (d)   Multi-Family Residential District (R-3). The purpose of the Multi-Family Residential District (R-3) is to encourage and provide for the orderly development of moderate density detached and attached housing types, with multiple dwelling units per structure, as well as the customary supporting residential facilities, such as schools, churches, parks, and open spaces. It is furthermore the purpose of this district to ensure that the location of such uses are in close proximity to community services and major thoroughfares that lend themselves to effective integration into the neighborhood by location and function.
   (e)   Community Commercial District (CC). The purpose of the Community Commercial District (CC) is to accommodate primarily commercial business, personal, professional and roadway service uses that cater to the needs of both the regional and local market. Development standards for single, free-standing uses on individual lots and shopping centers are regulated separately to encourage consolidation of lots into shopping centers of five acres or more.
   (f)   Village Center District (VC). The purpose of the Village Center District (VC) is to preserve, protect, and promote the Village- scale central commercial environment through promotion of and limitation to Village-scale commercial pursuits developed in a manner that is pleasant, safe, and convenient, the promotion of adaptive reuse of older commercial structures, and those constructed originally as residences, for appropriate village-scale commercial purposes, retention of the village scale and character through the limitation of uses, use sizes and characteristics, provision for the realization of a fine-grained intermixture of small-scale residential, office, and retail uses that was the hallmark of village life, and minimization of the impact of provisions for auto parking on loss of community character.
    (g)   Residential Office and Services District (RO). The purpose of the Residential Office and Services District (RO) is to provide for a transitional area of uses along major thoroughfares that are occupied by older single-family residences, but are subject to development pressure for commercial and office uses. The intent of the district is to provide for small low-intensity administrative and professional offices as an alternative use in such areas, while preserving the area's residential character.
   (h)   Industrial District (ID). The purpose of the Industrial District (ID) is to provide suitable areas for industrial activities. Uses developed within this district are intended to maintain an environment relative to noise, odor, dust, smoke, light, glare, or vibration that is compatible with adjacent land uses and in compliance with applicable State and Federal environmental regulations. Uses within this district are intended to operate without imposing any unusual burdens upon utility or government services.
   (i)   Public and Institutional District (P-I). The purpose of the P-I District is to establish sites for various governmental, institutional, educational, recreational, or other public or quasi-public uses that are integral parts of the community while also ensuring compatibility with the surrounding neighborhoods.
