MC Medium-Intensity Commercial District.

[Added 6-17-1993[1]]The intent in creating this district is to provide a choice of business locations for commercial uses furnishing a wide range of goods and services to individuals and other businesses. Such establishments should be scaled to meet Town-wide needs. Such uses are located primarily in single-purpose buildings or small shopping plazas. Medium-intensity uses should be allowed only on parcels with adequate size to provide landscaped open space, parking and building setbacks. Conversion of residential buildings to medium-intensity commercial use should not be allowed on undersized lots.

The Town intends to encourage owners of small parcels to work together to provide shared access and adequate parking and landscaping. If a landowner cannot combine parcels or work with adjacent property owners to provide landscaped open space and shared parking and access, such lots will be considered for a limited range of low-intensity commercial uses. The following shall apply in the MC District:A. Permitted uses shall include and be illustrated as follows:[Amended 12-21-1996 by L.L. No. 8-1996; 5-7-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004; 5-19-2011 by L.L.
