The Service Business District is designed to accommodate various types of office uses performing administrative, professional and personal services. These are typically small office or limited commercial facilities which have the appearance of residential structures and which can serve as transitional uses between more intensive uses of land such as that along M-89 and less intensive uses of land such as single-family residential development. The district is intended to promote alternatives to residential development along major thoroughfares while protecting the integrity of the abutting residential development. This district is specifically intended to prohibit commercial establishments which have extended hours, high rates of customer turnover and require short-term parking.
