PURPOSE OF GUIDELINES:

"These guidelines are intended to promote good design that is responsive to its contextual setting. The guidelines outline the Town’s expectations with regard to the design of commercial retail/mixed use establishments and are intended to assist residents, applicants, decision-makers, and staff in the consistent development review, and consideration of commercial retail/mixed use proposals. The guidelines are applicable to all development (residential, retail and service). Commercial development includes, but is not limited too, large and medium size “box” stores, inline (strip) multiple tenant retail, multiple tenant shopping centers that incorporate inline shops and larger anchor tenant spaces, commercial pad sites associated with a larger center, freestanding commercial buildings and mixed use projects. The guidelines are to be applied throughout the district and are intended to respond to the varying conditions and constraints inherent to individual site and contextual settings."
