Emerson Cummings Blvd./Union Avenue, the Portland Road from Imperial Street and Cascade Road, Cascade Road from Portland Avenue to Miles Avenue and shall extend to a lot line of any lot with direct frontage on any of the streets or roads mentioned in this subsection for a maximum depth of 400 linear ft from the street centerline.; The GB-1 district located on the parcel of land identified as 15 Ocean Park Road, Map/Block/Lot: 210/10/3, shall extend to all lot lines and shall be exempt from the maximum depth of 400 linear ft from the street centerline.; The GB-1 district is intended to accommodate commercial activities that are inappropriate to the downtown due to the compact settlement pattern in the beachfront area. While the GB-1 district is slowly evolving into highway commercial area, district regulations establish site development standards that encourage expansion of commercial uses while preserving the existing building line and mixed use character of the area.
