This District is intended for a variety of both small and large-scale retail and service facilities, generally clustered into groups of similar and related activities; and are often designed to accommodate an integrated complex of retail and service facilities on a single site and sharing common parking.

This District consists more or less of the traditional downtown area of Enterprise. As such it contains retail, office, financial, government, food service and personal service facilities. The use of upper floors for residential use is encouraged. Pedestrian access is also desirable; and development is in part characterized by lot line to lot line construction, and combined uses within buildings and on property.

The purpose of this District is to provide land to accommodate uses that tend to require a high degree of visibility and vehicular access, and/or serve the traveling public. The location and design of developments in this District must minimize traffic hazards and adverse impacts on adjoining areas.

5.04.01 Joint access easements and stubouts must be provided at adjoining property boundaries.

5.04.02 Access or frontage roads are required along the entire property frontage. All frontage roads must be for two-way traffic, parking is prohibited. Such frontage roads may be constructed on Alabama Department of Transportation right-of-way with ALDOT approval.

5.04.03 All frontage roads must be constructed to ALDOT specifications and must meet the following minimum requirements:

A.

The right-of-way must be at least 40 ft wide and lie parallel and adjacent to the highway right-of-way unless the Planning Commission determines another alignment to be more appropriate. Alternate layouts may be required at intersections.

B.

The paved roadway must be at least 24 ft wide from face to face or curb and constructed with vertical standard curb and gutter subject to City specifications.

C.

The paved roadway must lie in the center of the frontage right-of-way unless otherwise specified. The highway and frontage road must be separated by at least eight feet.

D.

Temporary access may be allowed from the access road to the main highway until permanent access points can be constructed or connections can be made to existing access points.

E.

Driveway curb cuts from the frontage road to the adjoining highways must begin or end no closer than 800 ft from the beginning or ending of another. Likewise, no such curb may begin at a point closer than 800 ft from the point of curvature of the curb return at an intersection with another street.

F.

Driveway curb cuts for frontage roads shall not begin at a point closer than 150 ft from the right-of-way of the main highway along any secondary road intersecting with the main highway.

G.

The Commission may waive or modify frontage road requirements where they would cross drainage ditches, creeks and other natural features.

The purpose of this district is to provide for and protect uses that are institutional in nature, while encouraging their reasonable use and enjoyment in ways that are compatible with surrounding districts. Such uses historically have been an integral part of the neighborhoods they provided for and supported. However, many such uses now typically serve a larger area than the adjacent neighborhoods and often consist of substantial structures and parking areas designed to accommodate large numbers of people.

This District is intended to accommodate manufacturing, processing, and assembly operations that are relatively small in terms of employment and space requirements and which do not adversely affect surrounding property by generating noise, dust, odor or glare.

This District includes land that is considered appropriate for manufacturing and assembly operations that tend to require substantial inputs of raw materials and components and subsequent shipment of processed goods.
