§265-36. -Neighborhood Business (B-1). [Amended 11-20-2003 by Ord. No. 2003-184; 1-15-2004 by Ord. No. 200-192; 4-11-2006 by Ord. No. 257; 4-11-2006 by Ord. No. 257; 12-14-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-272; 6-20-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-408; 9-19-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-4111 A. Purpose. The Neighborhood Business District (B-1) is established to provide locations for convenience shopping facilities in which those retail commercial uses shall predominate that have a neighborhood-oriented market and which supply necessities that usually require frequent purchasing and with a minimum of consumer travel. Typical uses to be found in the Neighborhood Business District include a food supermarket, drugstore, personal service establishments, small specialty shops, and a limited number of small professional offices. Mixed-use developments that integrate residential over retail or office use are encouraged, especially to promote live/shop/work associations within the same site. They should be designed to be an integral, homogeneous component of the neighborhoods they serve, oriented to pedestrian traffic as well as vehicular. Because of the nature and location of the Neighborhood Business District, they should be encouraged to develop in compact centers under a unified design that is architecturally compatible with the neighborhood which they are located adjacent to. Further, such districts should not be so large or broad in scope of services as to attract substantial trade from outside the neighborhood. Lot assembly, however, shall be encouraged to promote enhanced at-grade pedestrian and bicycle circulation systems, greater site design efficiency, especially for parking, and reduced vehicular circulation drive impacts. B. Uses permitted. No building or structure, or part thereof, within the district shall be erected, altered or used, or land used in whole or in part for other than one or more of the following specific uses, subject to all other applicable standards and requirements contained in this chapter: (1) All uses permitted in the RMF-1 district.
