A new zoning district classification, known
as "Professional Office District," described as follows, is hereby
established.
A district for establishments engaged in furnishing
professional, personal services, medical, surgical or other services
to individuals, including offices of physicians, dentists and other
health practitioners, medical and dental clinics and professional
offices of persons engaged in such activities as accounting, engineering,
consulting, computer programming, real estate, insurance, banking,
travel agency, financial planning or other similar uses. By this definition,
it is intended to limit the uses in this district to those activities
normally involving office and clerical activities as opposed to activities
involving wholesaling or retailing.
