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.
