17.12.110 Purpose: The Village Commercial District is a pedestrian and transit oriented
mixed use district primarily designed as a location for neighborhood, community wide and
tourist retail, office, restaurant, entertainment and service uses including transient
accommodations and residential uses. The district will provide opportunities for transit
routes and stops and to provide shared parking opportunities. Physically the district will
retain the pedestrian oriented scale and intensity of use of the rest of the Village core area.
Because of its nature the Village Commercial District zone may only be located in the village
center.
1. Goals of the district are:
a. Promote private development and uses, which complement public streetscape,
infrastructure and governmental improvements and uses.
b. Foster civic pride in the area and thereby stabilize and improve property values and
stimulate business investment.
c. Encourage new uses and services consistent with the downtown, pedestrian
oriented, character of the area to achieve a viable and sustainable commercial
district.
d. Prohibit new uses that are incompatible with the function and purpose of the district
and encourage the relocation to other locations in the community, of existing non-
conforming uses.
e. Encourage efficient land use and investment in the rehabilitation, expansion and use
of existing structures and in-fill sites through increased zoning densities and parking
allowances and flexibility.
f. Encourage the concept of"mixed" commercial, residential and civic uses in order
to, provide affordable housing opportunities, provide a diverse market for retail
goods and services, promote alternative modes of transportation, maximize the use
of public infrastructure investments and foster a greater sense of"neighborhood"
within the district.
g. Encourage a sense of "ownership" of the village core within all members of the
community as the social and cultural heart of the village by providing opportunities
for cultural and celebratory events and development of public spaces and buildings.
