140 Keith Rd, Bristol, TN 37620

Arterial Business Service District

This district is designed to provide adequate space in appropriate locations for uses, which serve the needs of the motoring public, as well as, the local community. Transient sleeping accommodations, entertainment and amusement, retail and wholesale trade, and eating and drinking establishments primarily characterize this district. In addition, commercial trade and service uses are permitted if necessary to serve the recurring needs of persons frequenting these districts. Community facilities and utilities necessary to serve these districts or uses necessary for the general community welfare are also permitted. Bulk limitations required of uses in these districts, in part, are designed to maximize building in proximate residential districts. It is the express purpose of this zoning classification to ensure that adequate infrastructure, accessibility and buffering between residential and agricultural land uses are in place to promote the highest and best use of the district while protecting the existing abutting land uses. This district is designed to serve the larger commuting area while providing a limited but compatible scope of services. New B-4 districts should be a continuation of existing commercial centers along arterial routes.
