All obligations of jurisdiction with regards to the provision of critical services will also become the responsibility of the annexing municipality.

(Ord. No. 6-91, § II(A)(4), 5-15-1991)

These districts are composed of land and structures occupied by or suitable for furnishing the retail goods, such as groceries and drugs, and the services, such as barbering and shoe repairing, to satisfy the daily household needs of the surrounding residential neighborhoods.

These districts are composed of land and structures used to furnish, in addition to the retail goods and services found in neighborhood business districts, the wider range of retail goods and services to satisfy all of the household and personal needs of the residents of the parish and its trade area. In addition to the main central business section of the parish, other large areas may be established as districts of this type to serve groups or communities of neighborhoods. The district regulations are designed to permit the development of the districts for their purpose in an open, spacious arrangement by requiring certain minimum yard and area standards to be met. To protect the abutting and surrounding residential areas certain restrictions are placed on uses. Although new districts of this type will not often be called for, such districts can be created in accordance with the amendment procedure set forth herein, if they are needed. To ensure that such districts are actually developed to supply the business needs of the groups of neighborhoods, the amendment creating the district may set a time limit for its development.
