residential and office uses located within the same building (on upper floors) and in the adjacent
Town Center Residential district. If less than 50 percent of a structure’s ground level will be devoted
to commercial space, such space shall be located along those facades adjacent to the required
pedestrian “main street” and adjacent to Town Hall Drive.
Temporary Use of Store Fronts
Although retail and restaurant uses are preferred to promote an active pedestrian environment at
the street level, ground-level commercial spaces may be filled with office uses until such time as
retail tenants are secured to fill the space as long as transparency is maintained.
