This zoning district is generally comprised of areas of the Borough where a wider range of automobile-oriented and automobile-dominated commercial and light industrial activities and related uses are more predominate than are permitted in the downtown (DT) area. These areas augment the downtown (DT) by providing for more intense business establishments generally requiring additional street frontage, larger building footprint, increased impervious coverage, deeper setbacks, increased building heights, larger amounts of off-street parking and loading, outdoor storage, increased screening and buffering, etc. This zoning district seeks to accommodate these uses by minimizing detrimental impacts on surrounding, lower-density and/or -intensity uses and districts via general and specific compatibility and performance standards.
