The business district regulations are intended to govern the location, intensity, and method of development of the business and commercial uses needed to serve the citizens of the village and its trade area. The regulations of each district are designed to provide for groupings of business and commercial uses that are compatible in scope of services and method of operations. All business uses are contained in the three business district classifications set out in this chapter and in Chapter 17.36 and 17.40.

The B-1, professional services district is intended to provide land and structures used primarily to provide office space for services to local residents.
