§ 205-5 Enumeration.

For the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the Town of Greenville, the Town is hereby divided into the following types of districts:
A. 
Commercial Mixed-Use District (CMU District). This district is intended to provide small-scale commercial uses along designated transportation and commercial corridors in the Town, along with compatible residential development. The district is intended to encourage agricultural areas where appropriate by permitting uses related directly to and in support of agricultural activities.
B. 
Rural Residential District (RR District). This district is intended to accommodate residential development that is compatible with the rural qualities of the Town and that may coexist with existing agricultural activities throughout this district.
C. 
Conservation District (CS District). This district is intended to protect environmentally sensitive areas by restricting commercial activity and permitting low-density residential development. The district will preserve the scenic assets of the Town.

A. 
The above-cited districts are bounded as shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map" of the Town of Greenville, adopted and certified by the Town Clerk, which accompanies and which, with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter.[1]

If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on said Zoning Map.
