Downtown Commercial District
This district is primarily intended to accommodate and create a high level of
employment and business activity. This district hosts businesses that primarily cater to tourists and to a lesser extent businesses that serve the needs of city residents. Retail operations and specialty stores are common along with indoor attractions. General retail, professional services, and offices are permissible but less common. Sidewalk cafes are common during the warmer months of the year. There is a balanced mix of one and two-story buildings. Where this district abuts a residential district, appropriate screening and landscaping will be provided to lessen associated impacts. Residential uses can occur in this district primarily on the upper levels of
buildings. Parking is available on the street and in nearby public parking lots and garages.
