The purpose of the C-4B Central Business District is to provide a district for those retail sales, service, office and residential functions which are characteristic of a "downtown" area and to allow the present downtown area to expand, develop and redevelop, with emphasis on specialty shops and retail uses with continuous linear low level building designs, while maintaining this desired character. Such areas are to be characterized by individual storefronts with public sidewalk access, as contrasted to shopping mall type development. The district requires retail use at street grade.
