In the B-1 Central Business District only the following uses are permitted:
a.
Business uses of a strictly retail sales and service type, conducted entirely within the confines of a building, such as stores, shops and offices, and involving the rendering of service or sale of goods directly to the ultimate consumer. The uses shall not include any process of manufacture, fabrication, assembly, treatment, conversion or alteration unless clearly incidental to the operation of the permitted business use and which will not create any dangerous, injurious, noxious, or otherwise objectionable or offensive condition as would tend to impair or hinder the most appropriate use of land in the vicinity.
1.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph a hereof, the provisions of Subsection 34-4.11 entitled "Outdoor storage" and the provisions of Paragraphs h and i of Subsection 34-40.2 entitled "Prohibited uses," the Borough Council may permit, upon special request and for stipulated reasons, on a temporary basis when it deems it to be in the public interest, the display and sale of newspapers outside stores and shops which normally sell such items within the confines of a building. In granting such permission, the Borough Council may impose such conditions for the conduct thereof as it deems necessary to carry out the intent of this subsection.
b.
Residences complying with all the required conditions as set forth in Section 34-19, R-4 Multifamily District.
c.
Clubs and fraternal organizations.
d.
Public garages and service stations.
1.
Public garages and service stations shall be subject to all of the requirements of all of the terms and provisions of Section 34-8, Public Garages or Service Stations.
2.
The minimum ground floor area of any public garage or service station hereafter erected shall not be less than 1,600 square feet.
e.
A drive-in or convenience type window shall be permitted as an accessory use to the permitted use provided there shall be a permanent canopy or portico attached to the building, covering the vehicle, and the vehicular traffic flow from such window is restricted so that there is no access to the on-site parking areas and the vehicular traffic is channeled directly onto a public street. The traffic pattern for the proposed window shall be reviewed by the Planning Board and Police Department prior to the granting of approval for such window. For the purpose of this paragraph, a drive-in or convenience-type window shall be deemed to be an accessory use provided that the majority of the business is conducted within the confines of the building.
