A. Purpose
In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, the Community Activity Center District provides
for community-wide employment, retail, education, health care, entertainment, or mixed-use
destinations at key intersections of major transportation corridors in Town. It is intended to
provide improved access to jobs and daily institutional and service needs, a compatible mix
of uses, and access to a variety of transportation options. Land uses in the district should
include a mix of uses, such as office and institutional, entertainment, retail, major commercial,
and residential uses—but not destination retail uses requiring substantial outdoor display
or storage, such as building supply stores, plant nurseries, or auto sales.
