The B-2 Commercial and Business Service District is intended to provide for those retail, wholesale commercial and limited light manufacturing uses incompatible with the primarily retail character of other commercial districts. The B-2 District is located along or in close proximity to arterial and collector streets in areas that have been previously subdivided and may back up to rail facilities which provide additional transportation access for more intensive commercial uses. The district establishes appropriate development, bulk and use standards and requires site plan review of development to assure compatibility particularly in transition along residence district boundaries.
