Statement of Intent
Generally, this district covers areas that have been traditional village centers or the site of seafood processing operations. It is intended for the conduct of business to which the public requires direct and frequent access in addition to primary residences. This district will provide area in which residential and commercial uses can be commingled in a mutually supportive manner, and provides for the location of a business and a residence in the same building. This district is designed to encourage the high density location of permitted uses as a means of revitalizing traditional village areas and making the delivery of goods and services more cost effective. It will serve as the alternative to strip development along currently undeveloped traffic corridors, a practice that will be discouraged. It is also designed to provide the option of establishing or reestablishing seafood-processing operations and other waterfront commercial activities in areas of residential development where the amount of available area adjacent to the water is sufficient for such activities.
