Glenwillow City Zoning Code
CHAPTER 1139
Business and Industrial Districts
1139.01 INTENT.
Business and Industrial Districts (Village Center Business District (VC-B) and Limited Industrial (L-I) and General Industrial (G-I) Districts) and their regulations are established in order to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
(a) To promote the most desirable and beneficial use of the land in accordance with the objectives and goals of the Village of Glenwillow;
(b) To provide appropriate and convenient districts of sufficient size to carry on the exchange of goods and services, manufacturing processes, and distribution activities to serve the community, and thereby promote employment and strengthen the economy of the community;
(c) To protect nonresidential development from congestion by requiring setbacks and limiting the bulk and density of development in relation to adjacent buildings and available land and by requiring sufficient off-street parking and loading facilities;
(d) The Village Center Business District (VC-B) is established to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
(1) To preserve the distinctive "Company Town" character of the District and foster a sense of community identification and civic pride by stimulating the rehabilitation and redesign of old buildings and encouraging new construction that complements the small-scale character of the Village's present or contemplated business community;
(2) To provide design standards that will assure the coordination of development within the District so as to add to the distinctive "Company Town" character and to facilitate easy vehicular and pedestrian movement with an emphasis on the pedestrian oriented retail character of the retail street frontage.
(3) To enhance green space, park areas and recreational amenities for public enjoyment and enhancement of the Village Center Business District.
(4) To protect property values within the Village by preventing environmental changes which diminish the area's unique character.
(e) Limited Industrial District (L-I) is established to accommodate the continuation and reasonable expansion of existing industries located along Bond Street, and to enable the establishment of new industries within this existing industrial area which can locate here in compliance with performance and development standards, in ways that minimize impacts on nearby residential districts.
(f) General Industrial District (G-I) is established to accommodate industrial activities in areas suitable for such development, that are adequately served by major streets and utilities, to encourage the grouping of large-scale industrial establishments that have a generally clean character and which normally generate only limited outdoor activities.
