The Office Service District (OS) is designed to accommodate limited types of office uses performing administrative, professional, and personal services. These are typically small office buildings which can serve as a transitional use between more intensive uses of land, such as the traffic on major thoroughfares and/or commercial districts, and the less intensive uses of land such as single-family residential development. This district is specifically intended to prohibit commercial establishments of a retail nature or other activities which require constant short-term parking and traffic from the general public. The OS District is designed to provide alternative, nonresidential uses for areas which front a major thoroughfare without changing the exterior character of the area and without adversely affecting adjacent land uses.
