ARTICLE VI BUSINESS DISTRICTS 6.1 BUSINESS DISTRICT PURPOSE STATEMENTS 1. Purpose of B1-T Downtown Transition Overlay District The purpose of the B1-T Downtown Transition Overlay District is to provide an appropriate transition between the downtown commercial area and adjacent residential neighborhoods. The overlay district provides for commercial, mixed-use and residential opportunities at the edge of the downtown area in a manner that assures that the bulk, intensity and design of development is compatible with adjacent single-family neighborhoods. This overlay district also seeks to maintain residential property values by minimizing the intrusion of commercial uses into residential areas. Adaptive re-use or redevelopment of non-residential sites is encouraged, but all development proposals will be required to demonstrate a sensitivity toward adjacent residential uses. Additionally, this overlay district also provides for the conversion of residential structures into compatible small-scale office and personal service establishments, and multiple-family uses that retain their residential character. 3. Purpose of B2 Community Retail and Service Districts The purpose of the B2 Community Retail and Service District is to maintain and promote a mix of commercial uses that provide goods and services for the Village as a whole, and for the convenience of residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. 4. Purpose of B3 General Business Districts The purpose of the B3 General Business District is to maintain and promote a broad mix of large-scale and small-scale retail, service and office uses that provide goods and services for the Village, as well as the surrounding region. 5. Purpose of CBD Downtown District The purpose of the CBD Downtown District is to establish a zoning district that recognizes and protects the unique scale and character of downtown Lansing by permitting compatible uses that enhance this physical character. This zoning district also permits compatible residential uses located above the ground floor of business establishments. The CBD District is differentiated from other business districts in that its pattern of development has traditionally been oriented toward the pedestrian, and the use, yard and bulk standards reflect the Village s desire to maintain this traditional development pattern.
