NB
Neighborhood Business District
The purpose of the neighborhood business district is to provide locations for small-scale service and retail uses that primarily serve the convenience needs of neighborhoods. Such commercial uses are necessary to satisfy basic shopping and service needs that occur frequently and must, therefore, be located close to residential areas. Pedestrian accessibility, rather than automobile convenience, is the priority. The NB district permits a mix of uses, but care must be taken to ensure that automobile access, parking, signage, and lighting do not to negatively impact adjoining residential neighborhoods. Screening will need to be provided so as mitigate impacts to residences.
