CHAPTER 1208

1208.01 INTENT.
The SF, Storefront District preserves the historic character of buildings and encourages new mixed-use and commercial developments that are more consistent with the built and desired character of the downtown area. Commercial and mixed-uses are less intensive and less auto-oriented than uses permitted in the B1 or B2 Districts. The ground floors of buildings are designed for active uses (i.e., retail, services, dining, and entertainment) to encourage pedestrian activity and a walkable community.
