Brewster City Zoning Code

B-2 GENERAL

RETAIL, OFFICE AND MOTORIST SERVICES BUSINESS DISTRICT

§ 153.155 PURPOSE.

   This district is established to provide for uses in addition to those specified for the general business district and thereby provide service and sales in support of the primary business activities in the community. This district includes activities which because of their nature, such as their tendency to encourage traffic congestion and parking problems, storage problems or certain other inherent dangers create special problems and are, therefore, best distinguished from other commercial activity. Their location is advantageous at specified points on major thoroughfares and at outlying locations in the community.
(Ord. 30-1974, § 412.1, passed 7-15-1974)
