PURPOSE AND INTENT. In-Lieu Parking Fees are intended to allow the Town to charge the cost of providing future parking in the downtown area in exchange for businesses not providing the spaces at the time of development. Elimination of the fees for a two year period is intended as an incentive to stimulate development in the downtown area. The purpose of establishing land use limitations within the Downtown Business District is to provide for an intensely developed central core area of retail, service/commercial or service office business where merchandise is stored on-site and all transactions and/or services occur entirely within an enclosed building. Relaxation of land use limitations for a two-year period is intended to stimulate new development and to stimulate occupancy of existing buildings in the downtown area. SECTION 2.
