A.
Description and purpose. This district is intended to permit both residential development and small-scale commercial uses which are compatible with adjacent residential uses and neighborhood character. District regulations are intended to protect neighborhood character through the restriction of building size, architectural requirements, landscaping requirements, and limitations on the range of allowable uses. In order to minimize disruption to residences, uses within this district shall be adjacent to and, where practical, take access from collector or arterial streets. All uses in this district shall be provided with public sanitary sewer and water services.
B.
Uses. For principal and accessory uses permitted by right or as a conditional use and allowable temporary uses, refer to the Table of Land Uses included as an attachment to this chapter. See § 510-38.
C.
Overlay district requirements. All lots, uses, structures, and site features within one or more overlay zoning districts (see Article X) shall be subject to the regulations of the applicable overlay zoning district in addition to those of the underlying standard zoning district. Where there are conflicts between the standard zoning district regulations and the overlay zoning district regulations, the more restrictive requirements shall prevail.
D.
Performance standards. All allowed uses in the NB Zoning District shall comply with applicable performance standards of Article XIII, except for any exemptions specifically stated in this chapter or by any other agency with jurisdiction.
E.
Landscaping regulations. Single-family land uses are exempt from landscaping requirements. All other land uses in the NB Zoning District shall adhere to the applicable landscaping requirements (see Article XIV).
