(a)

The B-1 District is intended and designed to provide certain areas of the city for the development of professional and business offices in areas where residential dwellings predominate.

It is further the intention of this section that the classification as B-1 of an area will aid in the preservation and stabilization of property values. To this end, it is the intention that new buildings or the conversion and alteration of existing buildings be compatible by means of landscaping, open space and architectural treatment with neighboring residences.
