(A) The purpose of the Mixed Use District is to provide for retail facilities, residences and services of such a nature as to be fully compatible with each other, given the close proximity of buildings in the Mixed Use District, and with the surrounding neighborhood, given its pedestrian nature. The Mixed Use District is intended to serve as a community focal point, especially as a business and service center.
(C) The Mixed Use District in the village is established in order to:
(1) Provide appropriate areas for local business activities and local shopping facilities providing goods and services which bear a proximate relationship to the requirements of the community as a whole, and which are compatible with the residential and pedestrian character of the community and with each other;
(2) Protect adjacent residential, institutional and business developments and the general public by restricting the types of uses, particularly at the common boundaries, which could create hazard, noise, glare, high intensity traffic, odor or other objectionable influences;
(3) Promote the most desirable land uses within a retail business district so as to protect and promote the development of the community primarily for single-family dwelling and institutional purpose; and
(4) Provide uses that meet the retail and service needs of a traditional village center and its vicinity, and continuing other compatible uses such as civic and institutional uses of community-wide importance, including second-floor residential or office uses, when possible.
