VC
Village Center District
The intent of the Village Center VC and Town Center TC Districts is to preserve and enhance the multifaceted uses of the Township’s established commercial areas. VC Districts are the small commercial areas that function as neighborhood or village centers, generally compact, walkable in scale, with local retail, and occasional residential uses above the first floor. TC Districts are the medium to larger commercial areas, related to major transportation corridors, mixing local, regional and national retail, with some residential uses above the first floor. The TC1 Districts are the Township’s traditional shopping districts that developed around train stations and grew as corridors over time. These are pedestrian-oriented with buildings entered from street-front sidewalks, with a variety of retail and service uses, and may include shared and municipal parking. The TC2 Districts are corridor extensions of TC1 Districts, with varied front setbacks that serve as a transitional zone.
