Neighborhood Mixed-Use Business District

The Neighborhood Mixed-Use Business District is a pedestrian-oriented commercial district intended to provide, adjacent to residential areas, a mix of retail, restaurant, service and office uses that primarily serve nearby residents and that do not generate large traffic volumes or parking problems. Pedestrian access from adjacent areas and within the district is promoted through safe, convenient and tree-shaded pedestrian sidewalks along all streets. Buildings have primary pedestrian entrances adjacent to a public sidewalk, and off-street parking is located to the side or rear of buildings. Vehicular access, parking and service areas are arranged to promote a safe, smooth traffic flow and minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflicts.; The intent of this district is also to avoid the continuance of scattered and marginal retail, services and office commercial strips along major streets by clustering the smaller businesses in distinct areas near neighborhoods, where such businesses serve local residents, are mutually supportive to the advantage of both businesses and customers, and where on-street parking and shared parking areas may be promoted.
