The subject area also holds the most historic value of the village and is the gateway to a village state park and the I & M Canal. The CP Overlay District's intent is to lessen the burden of the zoning regulations while also upholding or enhancing the Channahon Proper character by instituting exclusive regulations for this particular area.
