The GB General Business District is primarily characterized by an environment of a wide variety of retail business and services that serve the trade area but do not require such a central location as the central business district. These businesses are found on the fringe of the central business district, along major streets and arteries, at crossroads and near wholesale or industrial areas.

(Prior Code, § 10.200.1110)

The general business district is designed and intended to promote the development of uses which require large concentrations of automobile traffic. The district is also designed to accommodate those commercial activities which may be incompatible with the uses permitted in the central business district, and whose service is not confined to any one neighborhood or community.
