Retail Business District

The RB District is intended to serve the following purposes: To serve as an intermediate commercial zoning district that is less restrictive than the VC District, but not as permissive as the HC District.; To provide for an appropriate distribution of business development throughout the Township that will avoid the need for long trips for everyday needs.; To direct the most intense commercial uses that are most likely to attract persons from outside of the Township to areas close to expressway interchanges.; To carefully control traffic access from business development to avoid increased traffic congestion and safety problems; to encourage the consolidation of driveways, interconnections of parking areas and/or provision of service roads to provide efficient traffic flow.; To make sure that business development occurs in a manner that is highly compatible with nearby residential development, including homes in neighboring municipalities.; To increase employment opportunities and generate additional tax revenue for the Township and the school district.; To minimize and mitigate impacts to wetlands, lakes, streams, steep slopes and other sensitive environmental features.
