§ 17.30. B-3 GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT . (Am. Ord. #16-17)  


Latest version.
  • The B-3 District is intended to provide for the orderly continuation and revitalization of the older established Main Street "central business district" (including the area designated as "Village Mixed Use" on the Future Land Use Plan) area of the Village where uses are not exclusively of one type but, rather, mixed and include retail sales shops, wholesale and warehousing outlets, and institutional, recreational and residential uses. Many of the existing businesses in this district may not meet the requirements of the B-1 or B-2 Districts. It is the intent of this district to provide minimum requirements for all new uses of land within the district and a guide for the redevelopment or revitalization of existing uses of land within the district. Further, it is intended that the conversion of buildings located in the historic Main Street area and categorized as "Village Mixed Use" on the Village's Land Use Plan map from a residential use to a business use or from a business use to a residential use can occur provided that such conversion does not create conflicts with other nearby land uses, or, that impede the intended transformation of the Main Street area into a pedestrian-oriented retail and entertainment area.
