Neighborhood Business District

(1) This district is designed primarily for local business centers for retailing of merchandise such as groceries, drugs, and household items and for furnishing certain personal, business and professional services. Unlike some of the other commercial zones, this district is established to serve local neighborhoods and other relatively small trading areas. The standards established for these business areas are designed to promote sound, permanent business development and also to protect abutting or surrounding residential areas from undesirable aspects of nearby business developments. These districts are located at accessible places with respect to traffic circulation in order to conveniently serve the trading population and to promote the grouping of several places of business at locations so designated. Since this district is established to provide for small neighborhood oriented businesses, limitations on gross floor areas are established for certain uses. A Neighborhood Business District is typically a relatively small area but shall consist of at least two lots in separate ownership or at least two acres regardless of ownership.; (2) Unlike the CB District, off-street parking, landscaping and yard requirements are established for the NB District.
