B-2 HIGHWAY
BUSINESS DISTRICT
§ 154.160 DISTRICT DEFINED.
The B-2 Highway Business District is intended to accommodate and regulate strip commercial developments and compatible uses. Since such businesses, both retail and wholesale, draw their patrons primarily from the motoring public, they typically require direct access to major streets and large lots for off-street parking and loading. Portable or mobile (manufactured) structures may not be used for business purposes in the B-2 District.
(Prior Code, § 40-4-56)

The following use restrictions shall apply:

(C) Unenclosed activities, special use permit. In the B-2 District, a special use permit is required to conduct any commercial, service, or storage activities outside a completely enclosed building.
(D) No drive-ins. No commercial or service establishment shall offer goods or services direct to customers waiting in parked motor vehicles, or sell food or beverages for consumption on the premises in parked motor vehicles. Thus, service stations, drive-in restaurants, and the like are excluded from this District.
(E) Refuse containers. All refuse generated by any establishment located within the B-2 District shall be stored in tightly-covered containers placed in visually-screened areas.
(F) Screening. Along the side and rear lot lines of any lot abutting any residential district, screening (a wall, solid fence, or closely-planted shrubbery) at least six feet high and of sufficient density to completely block the view from the adjacent residential property shall be installed.
