Village Center District
To identify the existing village and the various qualities that give it its character and identity. New development should address those qualities of the village that are outlined so that it is appropriate in location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, and feeling and use them to complement the character of the village and add to its viability as the historic community center. To also accommodate light retail sales, services, and institutional uses that is considered necessary to serve the surrounding neighborhood. Existing historic structures should be preserved and existing buildings should be historically restored and adaptive uses found for them so that they are not destroyed. Lastly, any village development should be contingent on a through visual plan which insures the preservation of the Village Center historic character.
