Home Browse Search

The purpose of the Commercial zoning classification is to provide for commercial uses oriented around the automobile. Parcels are larger than in the Downtown Mixed-Use zone in order to provide on-site parking, on-site stormwater facilities as well as on-site water supply and sewage treatment where municipal utilities are not immediately available. The purpose of the Shoreline Commercial zoning classification is to establish and maintain a land use district for existing commercial, recreationally orientated uses within the shoreland area comprised of campgrounds, resorts, bars restaurants, marinas and similar water oriented uses with independent sanitary facilities and that are compatible with the natural resources of lakes and streams. The purpose of the Downtown Mixed-Use zoning classification is to provide a district for a mix of high-density residential and commercial uses. Development in this zone relies less on automobile traffic and more on walking, biking and other similar modes of transportation. Infrastructure must be in place to provide on-street parking and walkways as well as connection to municipal water and sanitary sewer utilities. Downtown Mixed-Use zones should be clustered to provide the maximum amount of interaction and accessibility between the different establishments. The purpose of the Light Industrial zoning classification is to establish and maintain a land use district for light industrial and heavy commercial uses. Development in this zone requires high automobile accessibility, municipal water and sanitary sewer service and municipal stormwater treatment facilities. Light industrial zones should be clustered to control negative impacts of light-industrial activities and to efficiently facilitate maximum interaction between light- '— industrial and heavy commercial enterprises.
