(A) Purpose: The SSMU Spruce Street mixed use district is primarily designated for commercial retail sales and services. This district is not intended to compete with the businesses in the central business district; rather, it is intended to provide a location for those businesses that have space needs that cannot be accommodated in the downtown or would be a disruption to existing development patterns. Development in this district will provide design elements and building and site relationships that emulate traditional main street form to create a walkable pedestrian friendly environment with connections to surrounding areas. The relationship of the Spruce Street mixed use district to CSAH 50, future residential development, and the central business district will require a greater sensitivity to design with higher quality standards in order to develop a pleasant, attractive and aesthetically pleasing environment.
