The Professional/Service District is established to provide
for professional offices, limited personal service businesses, and
for community-oriented public and private facilities. The district
should be used to buffer business districts from residential neighborhoods
and also to provide for a greater distribution of offices, personal
and professional services within residential areas where business
districts would be undesirable. The district is designed to protect
the abutting and surrounding areas by requiring that certain minimum
yard and area standards comparable to those called for in the residential
districts be met. Retail sales are prohibited except where related
directly to office functions.
In all P-1 Professional/Service Districts, no buildings or land,
except as otherwise provided in this chapter, shall be erected or
used except for one or more of the following specified uses:
A. Banks, credit agencies, security and commodity brokers and exchanges,
credit institutions, savings and loan companies, holding and investment
companies without drive-in facilities.
