The purpose of this district is to
provide primarily for office, retail shopping and personal service
uses, to be developed either as a unit or on an individual parcel,
to serve the needs of a relatively small area, primarily nearby rural,
low-density or medium-density residential neighborhoods. To enhance
the general character of the district and its compatibility with its
residential surroundings, signs are limited to those accessory to
businesses conducted on the premises, and the number, area and type
of signs are limited.
Permitted accessory uses are as follows:
A. Residential within-structure commercial
or office uses.
C. Garage, public or commercial parking.
D. Temporary buildings, including manufactured
home type structures, the use of which is incidental to construction
operations or sale of lots during development being conducted on the
same or adjoining tract or subdivision and which shall be removed
upon completion or abandonment of such construction or upon expiration
of a period of two years of the time of erection of the temporary
building, whichever is sooner. If construction operations or the initial
sale of lots remain actively underway, the Director may grant extensions
to this time period.

XXVII of this chapter, and may include:
A. Exceptions to parking and loading requirements,
as follows:
(1)
Off-street parking areas, adjacent to or at a reasonable distance from the premises on which parking areas are required by the parking regulations of Article
XXII, where practical difficulties, including the acquisition of property, or undue hardships are encountered in locating such parking areas on the premises and where the purpose of these regulations to relieve congestion in the streets would be best served by permitting such parking off the premises.

Waiver or reduction of the parking
and loading requirement in any district whenever the character or
use of the building is such as to make unnecessary the full provision
of parking or loading facilities.
(3)
Waiver or reduction of loading space
requirements where adequate community loading facilities are provided.
(4)
Waiver or reduction of loading space
requirements for uses which contain less than 10,000 square feet of

or size of lot make impractical the provision of required loading
space.

period not to exceed five years, such period to be determined by the
Board, for the following uses:
