Salisbury City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 17

84 - OFFICE AND SERVICE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT

17.84.010 - Purpose.

The purpose of the office and service residential district is to recognize those areas of the city where there exists a mixture of office, service and residential use and to foster the continuance of these uses with special development standards designed to protect residential use within and adjoining these districts from any possible adverse effect from nonresidential uses. These districts are generally located close to the central business district along collector streets in older established residential areas or between residential and strip commercial areas. Retail sales with high traffic volumes, late hours of operation, noise, odor and other detrimental influences affecting residential use are not permitted within these districts. Uses are limited to business and professional offices, most of which are conducted within the existing large older residential structures; public buildings and churches; and other service-type uses. The office and service residential district provides for a gradual transition of use from commercial development in the central business district to the residentially developed areas along collector streets extending outward from the central business district and as a transition from the heavily developed strip commercial along Route 13 to the older residential areas. The following uses, referenced standards and area regulations have been developed based upon this purpose, which is in accord with findings and recommendations of the city's adopted land use element of the metro core comprehensive plan.

(Prior code § 150-33)
