This District is intended to permit mid-scale downtown commercial, governmental, and institutional development, along with outdoor public spaces, at an intensity which provides significant incentives for infill development, redevelopment, and the commercial economic viability of existing downtown development. The District is also intended to retain the existing “Main Street” characteristics of the core blocks in the village’s historic downtown. Residential uses are strongly preferred to occur as vertical mixed-use, with the residential uses locating above the first floor.
