The C2 Neighborhood Corridor Commercial District is established to provide an environment of retail sales and commercial services that are larger in scale than allowed in the C1 District and to allow a broader range of automobile related uses. In addition to commercial uses, residential uses, institutional and public uses, parking facilities, limited production and processing and public services and utilities are allowed.
Examples of uses permitted
  • Residential development, 850 s.f. of lot area per d.u.
  • General retail sales and services
  • Child care center
  • Parking facility
Development characteristics:
  • Maximum height of principle structures: 4 stories or 56 feet, whichever is less
  • Maximum height of single and two family dwellings and cluster developments: 2.5 stories or 35 feet, whichever is less.
PO
The PO Pedestrian Oriented Overlay District is established to encourage the pedestrian character of commercial areas and to promote street life and activity by regulating building orientation and design and accessory parking facilities, and by prohibiting certain high impact and automobile-oriented uses.
Development characteristics
  • Maximum setback: 8 feet
  • Buildings should be oriented so that at least one principle entrance faces the public street.
  • Parking lots may be located to the rear or interior of the site and are limited to not more than 60 feet of street frontage.
  • Forty percent of first floor façade that faces a public street should be clear doors or windows at eye level.
