Village Center District
The purpose of this District is to encourage a mix of uses, residential and nonresidential, in an arrangement and locations that will enhance and replicate traditional village development. Uses should be small in scale and designed to be consistent with existing village center development. These areas are also designed to accommodate multifamily development in a variety of housing types.
