Mixed Use- Residential-Limited Business District

This district is intended as a transitional district for the combination of medium density residential uses and the conduct of limited business. This district will provide for a variety in housing types as well as for those public and semi-public uses and accessory uses, as may be necessary or are normally associated with residential surroundings, while including such business uses as retail stores, banks, theaters, business and professional offices, day care centers, restaurants and service stations which the public requires direct and frequent access, but which is not characterized either by constant heavy trucking other than stocking and delivery of light retail goods or by any nuisance factors other than occasioned by incidental light and noise of congregation of people and passenger vehicles. This district is intended to serve as a buffer between purely residential districts and districts which allow general commercial activity. Emphasis will be placed upon planned development with binding conditions to ensure the protection of both neighboring residential areas and residences within the district.
