The B-7 Mixed-Use Zoning District is intended to provide areas for commercial uses along major streets and highways in the Village for the convenience of travelers, tourists, and the residents of Rochester. The District is intended to provide for a full range of commercial uses to be located on sites with immediate access to arterial or collector streets and on sites where sanitary sewer is or may be available to serve commercial uses that benefit from this infrastructure. It is also the intent of the District to allow the continuation of existing residential uses in the District, while allowing the sensitive conversion of residential parcels to appropriate commercial uses that can benefit from the District's proximity to arterial or collector streets. Commercial uses in the District are not intended to weaken the commercial vitality of the Central Business District. It is also the intent of this District to conditionally allow multi-family residential and compatible industrial uses.
