The B-2 Highway Service District as established in this Zoning Code is intended to be that district which permits an extensive business use along heavily traveled highways. The permitted uses would require large parcels of property and would serve the general needs of all local residents. The purpose of this district is to provide a development pattern along designated major thoroughfares which will not create unsafe conditions by allowing numerous curb cuts along the highway. Business conditions exist along such highways, but property depths and large acreage suggest a type of business use which requires deep, large lots. Access onto the major highway should be limited to permit more extensive use of the property without substantially contributing to traffic hazards along the highway.
