The intent of this district is to provide large areas for a
variety of business, office and service uses. General business areas
are located on arterial highways at major intersections and at interchange
areas. Businesses allowed involve frequent and direct access by the
general public but not heavy truck traffic on a constant basis other
than that required for delivery of retail goods. General business
areas should have direct access to major thoroughfares and should
be properly separated from residential areas. Adequate frontage and
depth should be provided, and access should be properly controlled
to promote safety and orderly development. Nuisance factors are to
be avoided. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
may be used to assist the Zoning Administrator in classifying the
permitted uses.
