Sec. 37-62.1.- CB2 Central Business Downtown District—Purpose.

The primary purpose of the Central Business Downtown District is to provide for high density retail, service, office, and hotel development along with housing, parking, and institutional uses. This district is most suitable for Champaign's downtown core. This District has high intensity uses in terms of scale of buildings, traffic that is generated, size of businesses, and hours of operation. This district is designed to accommodate all types of businesses as well as residents who wish to live in an urban environment. Due to its central location, diversity of transportation options, and the challenges parking requirement impose on urban development, this district allows individual property owners to determine the necessity of providing on-site parking. This district supports the continued growth of Downtown Champaign as a regional attraction with a strong public realm.

Sec. 37-63.1.- CB3 Central Business Campustown District—Purpose.

The primary purpose of the Central Business Downtown District is to provide for high intensity mixed use pedestrian-oriented development along the Green Street corridor and adjacent to the University of Illinois campus. The corridor abuts dense student housing areas, draws heavy pedestrian traffic, and is well served by mass transit. This district requires development to be pulled to the street by restricting building setbacks from the right-of-way. Automobile-oriented development is discouraged in this district, and individual property owners determine the necessity of providing on-site parking. This district supports the continued growth of Campustown as a regional attraction with a strong public realm.

Sec. 37-66.1.- I1 Light Industrial District—Purpose.

It is the primary purpose of the I1 District to provide for the development of light industrial uses such as wholesale, distribution, research and development, and storage. It may also include some manufacturing processes, such as assembly, which does not produce noxious by-products. Limited retail sales and services related to the industrial uses may also be permitted as accessory uses. Performance standards minimize the potential for significant by-products or hazardous uses. It is preferable to have a transition between the I1 District and residential uses. The I1 District can be served by a local street system designated for trucks although the street system should exit to a major arterial or truck route. Traffic from the industrial area through residential areas is discouraged.
