BUSINESS DISTRICTS6
These B-1 districts are composed of a mixture of offices, services, light retail, public and community service uses. The B-1 district regulations encourage a type and integrity of land use and development that would serve as a compatible transition between residential neighborhoods and general commercial and industrial centers. In some instances, these B-1 districts may be freestanding from general commercial areas; along a major street or intersections or (as needed) to serve a small area of a neighborhood. These B-1 districts require certain minimum design standards to be met so as to ensure the protection of properties zoned for residential development from the land use conflicts commonly created by adjoining commercial and nonresidential developments.

In making such a determination, the zoning commission shall review the impact of the proposed development on surrounding properties and on the neighborhood, with respect to the capacity of the public street systems, the preservation of natural site features, the limitation of noise levels, the bulk and location of buildings and other site features, and the service benefit to the affected neighborhood (among other related compatibility considerations).

The B-2 neighborhood business districts are composed of land and structures occupied by or suitable for furnishing the retail goods, such as groceries and drugs, and the services, such as barbering and shoe repairing to satisfy the daily household needs of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Often located on one or more thoroughfares, these B-2 districts are small and are within convenient walking distance of most of the areas they will serve. The B-2 district regulations are designed to permit the development of the B-2 districts for their purpose and to protect the abutting and surrounding residential areas by requiring certain minimum yard and area standards to be met, standards that are comparable to those called for in residence districts. It is intended that additional neighborhood business districts will be created, in accordance with the amendment procedure set forth in this chapter, as they are needed to serve new residential areas. To ensure that such new districts are actually developed to supply the business needs of the neighborhoods, the amendment creating the district may set a time limit for its development.

BUSINESS DISTRICTS6
These B-1 districts are composed of a mixture of offices, services, light retail, public and community service uses. The B-1 district regulations encourage a type and integrity of land use and development that would serve as a compatible transition between residential neighborhoods and general commercial and industrial centers. In some instances, these B-1 districts may be freestanding from general commercial areas; along a major street or intersections or (as needed) to serve a small area of a neighborhood. These B-1 districts require certain minimum design standards to be met so as to ensure the protection of properties zoned for residential development from the land use conflicts commonly created by adjoining commercial and nonresidential developments.

The B-2 neighborhood business districts are composed of land and structures occupied by or suitable for furnishing the retail goods, such as groceries and drugs, and the services, such as barbering and shoe repairing to satisfy the daily household needs of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Often located on one or more thoroughfares, these B-2 districts are small and are within convenient walking distance of most of the areas they will serve. The B-2 district regulations are designed to permit the development of the B-2 districts for their purpose and to protect the abutting and surrounding residential areas by requiring certain minimum yard and area standards to be met, standards that are comparable to those called for in residence districts. It is intended that additional neighborhood business districts will be created, in accordance with the amendment procedure set forth in this chapter, as they are needed to serve new residential areas. To ensure that such new districts are actually developed to supply the business needs of the neighborhoods, the amendment creating the district may set a time limit for its development.
