The primary purpose of the business commercial district B-2 is to concentrate businesses in a coordinated manner and to provide for more intense commercial and industrial uses away from the town center.

Commercial uses located in this district, while traditionally being oriented to automobile traffic, are intended to have a sufficiently high standard in site layout, design, and landscaping to minimize traffic congestion on accessory roadways and minimize the impact of the high volume of traffic at an interchange with adjacent land uses.
