Purpose

The purpose of the planned unit development-Village Center zoning district is to provide an area for economic development according to design criteria particular to the district. The district is intended to be a mixed use development which provides for a diversity of compatible land uses and development densities. The entire district shall be planned as an integrated, coordinated development project, the components of which may include residential uses at different densities, neighborhood businesses, professional offices, retail uses, industrial uses, governmental uses, and recreational facilities. Development in this district is to be designed to highlight residential and commercial/retail uses along Route 138, with industrial uses further back. In addition, development of the district is to include significant recreational or open space area, which should also be located along Route 138 with industrial development behind it. The district is intended to facilitate joint or common use of parking, common use and maintenance of open space and recreational facilities, conservation of land and provision of open space through the clustering of buildings and activities, and lower infrastructure costs through increased use densities. A master plan must be approved by the planning board before any development takes place.
