that there are opportunities within the Village’s downtown core to use vacant and underutilized property more efficiently to reinvigorate the Village's downtown area; that creating incentives for higher density development within the Village’s downtown core will be more cost-effective because it will use infrastructure that already exists and thereby avoid the need to create additional costly infrastructure; and that those incentives will allow for development within the Village’s downtown core that will preserve, complement and be compatible with the character, massing, and scale of adjacent residential land uses; and Whereas, in the furtherance of these purposes the Board of Trustees created the Business District Floating Zone by adopting Village Code § 98-106.3; and Whereas, Village Code § 98-106.3 authorizes the Board of Trustees to permit and grant site plan approval for proposed developments that comply with Village Code § 98-106.3 and meet the requirements it establishes for the Business District Floating Zone;
