Local Neighborhood Commercial District
The general purpose and intent of this zoning district is to accommodate the variety of small-scale retail and professional uses that have developed alongside one-, two- and multifamily residential structures in areas adjacent to the residential neighborhoods in the City; The district acknowledges and accommodates the nature and intensity of existing development while guiding future development. The district is designed to limit the extent to which large-scale development can increase the intensity of use and affect the character of the surrounding residential neighborhoods while accommodating smaller scale commercial activities; By providing a district in which the uses enumerated herein are permitted it is also intended to relieve the development pressure for nonresidential uses in the adjacent residential areas.
