Confirm the parcel's adopted PUD documents before determining allowed use (Sections 8-201 through 8-208).

TCO — Town Center Overlay

The Town Center overlays add design and approval standards over the underlying base district. Overlay status does not replace the base district; check both the base zoning and the Village Commercial or Main Street overlay rules for the parcel (Sections 8-500 through 8-503).
