Purpose. The purpose and intent of this district is to bring unity and design to the streetscape, and facilitate safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the corridor.  The purpose of this district is also to provide for commercial and associated uses which generate or depend on large volumes of traffic and businesses requiring access to Principal Arterial Streets.  This district will provide for the conversion of single family dwellings into offices, various dwelling types and the construction of new office buildings.

All construction within this district shall be sensitive to the existing topography and include the preservation of steep slopes and wetland areas.  Further, because this district is an important connection between the adjacent communities to the north and south where sidewalks, street trees and uniform streetscape standards are actively being provided, the design standards provided in Section 208-1005 require this type of amenities.
