This district is intended to maintain and enhance existing rural communities where a mixture of residential, commercial, and limited industrial uses are desired. Such a mixture may include commercial uses occupying the ground floor with residential uses above, or limited industrial uses abutting commercial uses with appropriate buffering to achieve compatibility with adjacent uses. The regulations of this Chapter are intended to insure that new developments, particularly commercial and limited industrial uses, are compatible in scale, function and character in those communities where this district is applied.
