Central Commercial Zones

It is the intent of this zone to: facilitate the orderly development of property within and adjacent to the built-up central business area of the city for commercial purposes but to do so in a manner to minimize the adverse impacts of such commercial activity on existing residents and residential uses in the zone area and, encourage and facilitate the preservation and restoration of homes in the zone area having unique historic significance.; The zone is to be applied to the existing built-up areas within and adjacent to the existing central commercial areas of the city which were initially developed for residential purposes, but which have more recently experienced a trend toward conversion in use for office and commercial purposes.; The zone is characterized by a mixture of relatively small commercial structures and existing residences converted for office and retail and service commercial purposes and located in pleasant landscaped settings, interspersed with older residential structures, still occupied as dwellings. Many of the dwellings and converted dwellings qualify for historic building status.
