Section 12.01  Purpose

This District is intended to provide areas for the establishment of retail sales and personal service uses, catering to the general public, as well as the residents of MarkeyTownship.  The uses in the District will remain small in scale to be well integrated into a rural setting, and possess appropriate traffic safety components which will limit potential negative impacts resulting from adjacent non-residential uses.  Development in this district should not be of such a scale as to overwhelm the rural-resort characteristic of the Township.
