§ 85-474. Legislative intent.

A. 

It is hereby found and determined by the Town Board of the Town of Brookhaven that there exists within the Town a range of many vital planning challenges, from protecting the rich heritage and setting of our Town, to preserving the sense of place that main street centers and traditional neighborhoods provide to the surrounding communities. The Main Street Business District will allow for development and redevelopment of fully integrated mixed-use pedestrian-oriented main street centers.

B. 

Main Street Business Districts will be designated in those long-established downtown areas, central business districts, and/or main street areas, and existing or planned future adjacent areas that have commercial and/or mixed-use development with a storefront character. Main streets are designed to give priority to pedestrians and provide transit service, when available.
