Limited Commercial/Residential District

The Limited Commercial/Residential District adjacent to Main Street and Board Street are historically residential areas that have become appropriate locations for limited, small-scale nonresidential uses as Route 113 has developed. The intent of the C-2 Limited Commercial/Residential District is to: Encourage the retention and reuse of existing buildings with historical value within the district, to maintain and enhance the character and streetscape of the borough.; Encourage adaptive reuse of existing properties to bring them into conformity with permitted uses and the goals and objectives of the borough’s prevailing economic development plans and initiatives.; Allow a mix of residential, limited commercial and office uses in existing buildings in a manner which supports the economic development of the borough.; Limit the impact of nonresidential uses and new development on existing residences by requiring a residential character, limiting the scale of buildings, controlling the location of parking areas and requiring buffer landscaping.; Encourage shared parking arrangements and connections between parking areas on adjoining lots to minimize curb cuts and provide efficient and accessible parking.
