    The purpose of the Neighborhood Business District is to provide retail stores and personal service outlets to meet the needs of the people in adjacent or nearby residential areas for convenient services. These Districts are closely related to Residential Districts but they are also commercial areas that generate activities that can be disruptive in residential areas unless they are properly regulated. The intent of these regulations is to make the B-2 District as compatible as possible with associated Residential Districts while permitting commercial activity.

Conditional uses shall include churches and other places of worship, parish houses, public libraries, schools offering general education courses, public parks, and recreational facilities, public utilities, funeral homes, cemeteries, philanthropic institutions and clubs, including a club of which the chief activity is customarily carried on as a business, mobile home park, mobile home subdivision, recreational vehicle park. The Board of Adjustment may attach certain conditions to its approval which it feels are necessary to preserve and protect the character of the district in which the proposed use would locate.

The Planning Commission may require that when two or more consumer commercial establishments adjoin along one side of any street or highway that they share access points to the street. When more than four consumer commercial establishments adjoin along any highway or street, a road parallel to the highway or street may be built, at the expense of all adjoining consumer commercial establishments, to provide service to all consumer commercial establishments on the same side of the street or highway. This road shall have access to the highway or street at no more than two points for every four consumer commercial establishments. The provisions of §§ 152.140 through 152.156 shall also apply in a B-1 District. Parking and off-street loading requirements are provided in §§ 152.190 through 152.196.
