(A) The Commercial Residential Zone CR-1 is established to provide areas within the town where general retail and service uses can be established. This will be done by creating a shopping and business area with well maintained stores and business offices. Commercial use areas should be located along major arterial streets for high visibility and traffic volumes.
(B) Whenever commercial uses are adjacent to established or future residential areas, special care should be taken to ensure privacy and to protect personal property. Methods of protecting residential areas by providing transitions and buffers between residential and commercial areas include, but are not limited to, the following: increased setbacks, landscaping, restricted land uses, diversion of traffic, controlled noise or light, height limitations, and transitional land uses such as minor offices or higher density residential uses.
