The purpose of the B-1 Lakeside Business District, as supported by the vision, goals and objectives of the Village of Liverpool Comprehensive Plan 2025 and the corresponding Downtown Redevelopment Plan,[1] requires mixed-use development to create a compact, walkable, pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment built to the scale of the pedestrian in order to promote greater pedestrian activity along buildings fronting the street, public parks and the waterfront promenade along Onondaga Lake. The B-1 District is a place where people live and work and where visitors come to spend all or part of each day to rediscover our many waterfront attractions.

As expressed in the Comprehensive Plan, the B-1 District shall be considered as the traditional "Main Street" business district with entertainment, retail, and business uses intermixed with high-density residential development. It is a premier waterfront neighborhood community functioning as a shopping district, a family-oriented entertainment area, and a live-work district for residents and visitors. It serves as a specialty retail district with fine dining establishments, outdoor cafes, and entertainment venues including a variety of cultural activities, museums, art galleries, and specialty shops. The B-1 District shall serve as the primary gateway between the Village and the lakefront.
