This district has been established to provide for areas in which a mixture of residential, small-scale office, and professional service establishments are desired. It is intended that this district be used for transition areas between established residential neighborhoods and non-residential uses and for areas along major thoroughfares. It is also intended that the appearance and character of such areas be compatible with residential areas and the conduct of uses within this district not generate a great amount of traffic and noise detrimental to adjoining residential neighborhoods.
