Urban Design Intent
‘The urban design intent in this area is to
strengthen Downtown by creating a
transitional zone between the two retail
nodes along Main Street North and
South. This area should contain smaller
buildings with residential, institutional or
office uses. Retail development should be
discouraged. The form of the buildings
should relate to the existing residential
buildings; that is, they should be narrow
and deep buildings with small yards on
all sides.
