Benefits of the Residential Business and Professional District
- District is intended for areas with many small residential lots on busy
roads.
- Non-residential uses are permitted as a conditional use - residences
are permitted by right.
- Protection of adjacent homes with low-intensity non-residential uses.
- Control of traffic with shared driveways and interconnected parking
lots.
- Promotion of a mixed use as a transitional area between residential
and intense commercial development.
- Non-residential buildings must have a residential character.
