B2
Neighborhood Business-Arterial District
The B-2, Neighborhood Business-Arterial District is intended to provide areas of limited size along arterial streets in proximity to low density residential areas for a limited range of basic commercial trade and personal services. This district is also intended to provide areas for new high density residential uses. These business and residential uses may occur in the same structure. Due to the location of arterial streets in many residential neighborhoods where commercial and high density residential uses would not be appropriate, the B-2 District shall be limited to only those areas that have been so designated by the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan and related amendments.
