Amendment #1

In conjunction with the Village's Commercial Zoning Update, which was recommended as a Strategic Initiative, the Village adopted an amendment to its Comprehensive Plan on February 6, 2023 via Ordinance 3052.  The amendment removed reference to ground floor commercial requirements within the narrative description of the Central District Future Land Use Subcategories on pages 173-175. This approach allowed the nuance and flexibility recommended by the Commercial Zoning Update, was believed to be more responsive to actual market demands and aligned with the Village's goal of additional housing development.
