The purpose of the Neighborhood Center District is to outline
and preserve the neighborhood core which has historically developed
into a composite of residential, commercial, governmental and religious
uses primarily designed to serve the surrounding neighborhood. It
is intended to allow uses of a small scale and of a convenience nature.
It is further intended to provide for special regulations relative
to density, dimensional requirements, signage and parking to maintain
the neighborhood scale and to ensure compatibility between uses within
the districts as well as abutting residential districts.
