Subdistricts

The Village Overlay District is broken down into two subdistricts, based on the scale of development and types of uses that are generally promoted in these areas. The first subdistrict, "Center District," is characterized by a dense development pattern that is focused on walkability and is generally identified as the Chepachet Main Street area associated with denser mixed-use development. The second subdistrict, "Village District" area, is outside the Center District and is also designed to be walkable but allows automobile-oriented businesses and businesses which may include a drive through window. The Village District is an area where larger planned developments may occur that enhance the character of the surrounding parcels while providing housing and commercial opportunities.
