FIRST FLOOR RETAIL The Plan Commission recommends that real
RESTRICTIONS - estate offices in the C -1 Village Center
VILLAGE CENTER District be classified as a Special Use and
does not recommend any other changes to the
C -1 provisions. Trustee Swanson stated he did not agree with the
conclusions and recommendations of the Plan Commission. He noted
that in order to continue the TIF program, service uses must be
restricted and retail uses encouraged. The Board inquired what
uses the Plan Commission determined would belong in a central
business district. Edna Schade, representing the Plan Commission,
acknowledged they couldn't reach a conclusion to set up certain
standards for first floor retail use and take responsibility for
its enforcement. Their decision to classify only real estate
offices as Special Use was made to prevent long term vacancies in
the.:C -1 district. (As corrected on 5/15/89)

Commission recommendation for real estate offices to be classified
Special Use in the C -1 district be accepted but modified to include
