General Business District

The B3 General Business District is primarily composed of heavy commercial and light industrial uses usually located near population centers and which may generate increased traffic and congestion. The intent of this district is to provide for special areas which, due to their location or current land use, have been set aside to allow uses which may not be allowed in the lighter commercial districts, but are not generally objectionable by reason of dust, odor, bright lights, noise or vibration. This district should generally be utilized as a buffer between heavier industrial and lighter commercial zones. Such uses shall be subject to the following conditions: The proposed use is consistent with the policies of the Walton County Comprehensive Land Use Plan; Such proposed use is not inconsistent with neighboring zoning and current land use, and will when necessary provide adequate buffer between adjoining residential or agricultural districts; The site plan for the proposed use provides for adequate ingress and egress of vehicular traffic and will not cause safety, health or unreasonable traffic safety or congestion problems in the area; and Such use shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building.
