Business District

To provide areas for retail business uses in balance with residential development as an integral part of the community providing essential services and employment opportunities that are conveniently and efficiently located to reduce unnecessary commuting, protect air quality and facilitate the cost-effective provision of services. Adequate facilities, such as roads, water and sanitation, fire protection, emergency service, and public utilities shall be available to serve the development. Growth should occur in a phased and contiguous manner to save on the costly, premature extension of basic infrastructure.; Development within this district is encouraged in compact centers rather than in extended strips of development along roadways so as to provide for orderly development, minimized traffic congestion, and provide for safe pedestrian movement. Business centers shall be located so as to minimize conflicts with residential and agricultural uses, wildlife habitats/corridors, and environmentally and visually sensitive areas in accordance with the intent of the Douglas County Comprehensive Master Plan, as amended. Offices may serve as a transition between urban residential and major commercial or industrial areas.; The B zone district is characterized by retail business buildings situated in a landscaped setting with landscaped off-street parking areas. Site improvements including landscaping shall be provided and designed to minimize the impact on adjacent residential uses and maintain the appearance and visual quality of the County. A site improvement plan is required prior to the use of the lot for any purpose. Typical uses include drug stores, flower shops, book stores and other general merchandise stores, offices, banks, private clubs, and public recreational areas. Development or use of land in this district is permitted only in accordance with the provisions herein. Land disturbance activities may require permit(s).
