The B business district is established to allow commercial development at appropriate locations within the village. The retail and service uses allowed within this district are intended to serve area residents, and enhance the economic base of the village. The B business district should be located along arterial roadways where adequate access can be provided without disrupting residential areas. The high visibility afforded to parcels along these arterials requires site and building design that enhances the economic viability of the business and aesthetic quality of the public right of way. Impacts on existing and future residences, in and adjacent to the village, should be further minimized by the provision of appropriate perimeter buffers and by promoting design in this district which is compatible with the character of Kildeer and viable commercial development.
