It is the intent of this B5 district to accommodate those commercial activities which may be incompatible with the predominantly retail uses permitted in the B4 district, but are required to service the central retail core as well as provide a transition to outlying residential areas. The B5 district accommodates a mix of office, service and multi-family residential uses in a pedestrian-oriented environment with sufficient parking provided to accommodate permitted uses.
