The intent of the Community Plan is that the Grouse Creek Character Area provide a broad range of commercial services for visitors and residents that are conveniently accessible by automobile. The area functions as an auto-accessible commercial center providing retail, office space, services and the opportunity for redevelopment. The desired characteristics are to remain as a service commercial center, at an appropriate scale, and to generate sales tax revenue for the Town.

(Prior code 16-5-1)

(a)

The Grouse Creek Commercial Zone can accommodate a broad range of commercial services and is conveniently accessible by automobile and delivery trucks. The building clusters share access points and on-site parking. Due to its proximity to Highway 24, the district can accommodate a substantial volume of traffic.

(b)

The purpose of the Grouse Creek Commercial Zone is to encourage a broad range of complementary commercial services that generate sales tax. Development or redevelopment plans should be designed to complement each other in character, scale and proximity and be linked by attractive pedestrian corridors and plazas.
