The district’s character concentrates around the Hutchinson Square area along Main Street, where sidewalk cafes, local boutiques, and galleries cluster under live oaks. The Icehouse Restaurant anchors the dining scene in a restored industrial space. Summerville Dorchester Museum and the Flowertown Players theater add a strong cultural throughline.

PUD
Planned Unit Development District
The purpose of this section is to encourage the development of various types of planned developments under a single master plan, where the traditional density, bulk, spacing and use regulations of other zoning designations, which may be useful in protecting the character of substantially developed areas, may impose inappropriate and unduly rigid restrictions upon the development of parcels or areas which lend themselves to a unified, planned approach. Planned developments are intended to promote flexibility in site planning and structure location, to facilitate the provision of utilities and circulation systems, the mixture of uses, as well as to preserve the natural and scenic features of the parcel.
