415 Superior St Albion, MI 49224-2174

The Central Business District is intended to provide for a variety of retail and office services which serve the needs of a consumer trade area that extends beyond the corporate boundaries of the City. This district is characterized by intense pedestrian activity and a unified architectural scale. The district regulations are designed for these purposes to promote convenient comparison shopping by pedestrians for retail goods and business, professional, and personal services, to provide for the stability of retail development by encouraging a continuous retail frontage and by prohibiting automotive related uses and services, to provide for more employment in the district and to promote the full utilization of downtown buildings, including the second or third floors for possible residential use and to protect the district from over congestion of the traffic pattern, while providing adequate automobile access to, and parking in, the area, to protect and enhance the value of property within the district.
