These districts are composed of land and structures for such uses as offices, studios and public parking lots. Although usually located between residential areas and business areas, these districts are in some instances freestanding in residential areas or they may include hospital or college groups and related uses. The district regulations are designed to protect and encourage the transitional character of the districts by limiting the permitted uses to those of a semicommercial nature and to protect the abutting and surrounding residential areas by requiring certain minimum yard and area standards to be met, standards that are comparable to those called for in the residence districts.
