Village Mixed District
The Village Mixed District provides for low- or moderate-intensity residential and commercial uses. This district may contain a mixture of residential, commercial, and maritime/agricultural service uses. The commercial and service uses serve residents of the village and nearby areas, and may include heritage tourism uses to attract visitors. Limited new development is directed to this district so that the environment and natural resources of nearby rural areas are protected and preserved. These districts may have public water and/or sewer service with relatively smaller lots and higher densities than surrounding rural areas.
