Three (3) zoning districts are provided for business and commercial uses. When taken together, these districts are intended to permit development of property for the full range of business and commercial uses needed to serve the citizens of Lake Zurich and the surrounding suburban area.
The B-1 Local and Community Business District is intended to serve the everyday shopping needs of Village residents as well as to provide opportunities for specialty shops attractive to the wider suburban residential community around the Village. It permits uses that are necessary to satisfy most basic, frequently occurring shopping needs. It also permits compatible uses that, although not used as frequently, would be desirably located in close proximity to potential users. The district is located principally on primary or secondary thoroughfares, is relatively small in size, and has bulk standards that provide for compatibility with nearby residential uses.
The B-2 Central Business District is located in the center of the Village. It is intended to serve the entire Lake Zurich suburban community with a wide variety of retail and service uses. The bulk standards in this district are intended to reflect the generally more intense development of property existing in this area.
The B-3 Regional Shopping District is intended to provide locations for major retail centers. The regulations are designed to encourage a broad range of attractive retail and compatible service uses in those centers. (Ord., 10-2004)
