Residential-Commercial District

Preserve the character of Main Street by encouraging a compatible mix of residential, office and limited commercial uses in areas of the Borough that are already characterized by a mix of such uses.; Encourage the preservation of existing older buildings by permitting a variety of uses which are compatible with the existing structural types, lot sizes and other physical and visual characteristics of the area and by permitting the conversion of such buildings in a manner which maintains the visual character and architectural scale of existing development within the area.; Protect the character and integrity of residential neighborhoods by minimizing the negative effects of nonresidential development.; Discourage development of those retail commercial uses which would more appropriately be located in the SC Shopping Center District because they require incongruous architectural styles, high volumes of traffic, excessive paved areas or numerous access points.; Provide flexibility to landowners and developers in terms of permitted uses and appropriate density, dimensional, and development regulations for those uses.
