The intent of the B-B Community Business District is to provide for commercial development that offers a broad range of goods and services. Uses permitted in the B-B District are generally intended to be less intensive than those permitted in the B-C District. Commercial establishments in the B-B District cater to the convenience and comparison-shopping needs of residents. Because of the variety of business types permitted in the B-B District, special attention must be focused on site layout, building design, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, and coordination of site features between adjoining sites. Accordingly, Community Business District developments should be:

   — Compatible in design with adjacent commercial development,

   — Designed as part of a planned shopping center or in coordination with development on adjoining commercial sites,

   — Buffered from or located away from residential areas, and

   — Served by a major thoroughfare.
