Corridor Activity Center-Continuing Light Industrial Overlay District

The CAC District is intended to provide for the development of pedestrian-oriented, urban activity centers with a mix of uses which may include retail, service, office and residential uses. These centers should be located near to Route 1 and close to residential communities that will benefit from a pedestrian-oriented local business area. The requirements of this district, in conjunction with the Route 1 Manual and the public improvements recommended by the Route 1 Corridor Revitalization Study, vehicular and pedestrian improvements that connect internally and with surrounding developments will result in development that will strengthen nearby communities, provide for safe and convenient pedestrian travel, and improve the streetscape of Route 1 and intersecting roads. Many parcels in the CAC District were developed before this district was created. It is not the intent of these requirements to disallow the continued use of sites developed prior to the CAC District. The intent of this district will be achieved by bringing the sites into compliance with these requirements and the standards of the Route 1 Manual as uses are expanded or redeveloped.; The Continuing Light Industrial CLI Overlay District is established to allow continuing use of existing warehousing and light industrial buildings in the Corridor Employment CE District and the Corridor Activity Center District CAC that were developed for these uses prior to creation of these districts. By allowing these uses to continue, the CLI District protects and promotes owner investment in the existing buildings and site improvements.
