The intent of the Village Commercial District is to improve economic viability and to provide a greater mix of uses with an emphasis on historic preservation and traditional development patterns. Utilization of the district is intended to foster pedestrian-oriented development that will enhance Downtown Johnstown as a community focal point. It is intended to discourage auto-oriented uses, uses with fleet parking, commercial storage and other uses that would detract from the visual quality and scale of the district. Its goal is to foster appropriate development standards to preserve historic character by promoting the re-use of existing buildings when compatible with the district and the addition of suitable infill development.
