Existing Ordinance
Language:
612.1 Purpose: To
preserve the area around the Town Hall, the Fire Station, the Armstrong Building,
the Bartlett Buildings and the Historic District as the traditional and actual Town
Center. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish special conditions which
when satisfied would allow through design guidelines, mixed uses of retail,
professional offices, and residential in the Town Center. This district would
minimize sprawl along road corridors by providing an off road village center
that would preserve the Town Center.
