Rockport City Zoning Code

§ 118-16

B-2 Central Business District.

16.1 
Use Regulations.
The purpose of this district is to define the downtown commercial and business area. The principal difference in this district and the B-1 General Business District is that buildings may be built to the front property lines. Basically, this district encompasses the older downtown commercial and business structures. Arrangement and construction of structures make it impractical to require off-street parking and loading spaces for each business on its own lot. Land and premises may be used for:
1.
All uses listed for a B-1 district.
2.
Residential uses are permitted under the same provisions of the R-1 through R-7 Districts.
16.2

16.2.1 
Area of the Lot.
None required for non-dwelling uses. For dwelling uses, see [section 118-20] Table 20.

Width of the Lot.
None required for non-dwelling uses. For dwelling uses, see [section 118-20] Table 20.
16.2.3
