B1
Business District
The B1 business district is intended to promote and preserve small scale, limited shopping and business uses that service the needs of the people who live and work in the neighborhoods in which the business uses are located. Evanston's business districts developed many years ago and have become integral parts of the community. Because they are such an important part of the community's character, preservation of their scale, their range of services, and their pedestrian orientation are prime objectives. The B1 district is structured to accomplish the retention of these small neighborhood business districts and provide for their continued existence. Uses within this district share common characteristics such as relatively small storefronts built to the front lot line, and provide limited services that cater to neighborhood residents such as drugstores, cleaners, shoe repair, corner grocery stores, and restaurants. No individual use in this district should exceed 7,500 sq ft in size.
