The business districts set forth herein are established to protect the public health, to promote public safety, comfort, convenience and the general welfare and to protect the economic base of the village and the value of the property. These general purposes include, among others, the following objectives:

   A.   To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance with a well considered plan so that adequate space is provided in appropriate locations for the various types of business uses, thereby protecting and strengthening the economic base of the village.

   B.   To place in separate districts those businesses which may create noise, odors, hazards, or unsightliness, or which may generate excessive traffic.

   C.   To permit selected business uses in districts adjacent to residential areas where sufficient value or convenience to the residential area offsets the disadvantages of the business use.

   D.   To encourage the grouping in appropriate locations of compatible business uses which will tend to draw trade that is mutually interchangeable and so promote public convenience and business prosperity and contribute to the alleviation of traffic and pedestrian congestion by encouraging the use of a common ingress and egress.

   E.   To promote the establishment of off street parking facilities, permitted and required, so as to alleviate traffic congestion and so promote shopping convenience and business prosperity.

   F.   To promote design appearance, style and construction of structures in the business districts which will be essentially compatible with the residential character of the village. (Ord. 81-49, 11-9-1981)
