7.01 - Preamble.

Business district regulations are intended to govern the locations and uses of a full range of business and commercial establishments needed to serve the citizens of Glenwood and its trade area. The regulations of the various business districts are designed to provide for groupings of business and commercial establishments that are compatible in scope of services and method of operations. The B1 district is intended for application in the prime business centers and planned shopping centers characterized mainly by non-automotive oriented retail stores and shops. The B2 district is intended for those portions of the village where highway-oriented retail business establishments are appropriate as well as general business activity. All business establishments in the various business districts are intended to be retail trade or service establishments dealing directly with consumers. The production of goods on the premises is intended to be limited to those sold on the premises, or clearly incidental and accessory to the principal retail trade or service.
