The small pocket of general business and light industrial use at Harrison Street and Greencastle Road should be preserved. Local business and residential use should be continued where compatible in this area, which is an older and developed portion of the Town. The rest of this district should remain principally for residential use. Preservation of residential uses in town is necessary to achieve the goal of providing adequate housing for people of all ages and means and also the goal of promoting an atmosphere of small town charm. TOWN INDUSTRIAL USE This district is located just east of the midtown district in town. It includes the area surrounding the railroad tracts from Bridge Street south of State Road 67 and extends east to the East Fork of White Lick Creek. Like the midtown district, this is a fully developed, mixed use district, so the plan focuses on reuse of existing property amid and established patter of activity. The character of this district should remain primarily bus'iness and light industrial, with two distinct residential neighborhoods preserved within it. Although normally compatible, these uses have coexisted in this district for some time. The district's excellent rail access and circulation provided by Bridge Street, Indianapolis Road and High Street make more intense business and light industrial uses appropriate and desirable. Land adjacent to the railroad should be used for general business or light industry, as should land along both sides of Indianapolis Road south of the railroad track. The blocks between Washington and Main Streets from the railroad to Indianapolis Road should be entirely generat business, but this use should not extend across to the north side of Washington Street nor to th south side of Main Street. The intersection of High Street and State Road 67 is a highly visible entrance to the town. The intersection's southwest corner and the Town Park should be preserved as an open space to help accomplish the goal to promote an atmosphere with a high standard of community pride and small town charm. Because of accessibility and visibility, both sides of High Street should be used for general business in this district. South Street could provide sufficient access to support general business use on both sides of the street from the railroad tracks east to the High Street intersection. Transition of this area from residential to business use should happen in an orderly fashion, however. The entire area should remain residential until it can be developed in its entirety as general business. The two residential neighborhoods that should be preserved lie between Bridge and Washington Streets and between Main Street and Broad Alley Mooresville ED & RD Plans: 2004 Amendments (08~03~04)
