This district has been established to provide for areas devoted to commercial activities which are conducted to serve the needs of the residents of the village and surrounding areas. Uses in this district are intended to be located on major streets at strategic access points to surrounding areas, minimizing the potential adverse effects on surrounding residential property. It is the intent of this district to encourage clustering of businesses in order to discourage “strip” development, provide for a minimum of traffic interference, and encourage pedestrian access.
