Generally, this district covers that portion of the community
intended for the conduct of general business to which the public requires
direct and frequent access, but which is not characterized either
by constant and heavy trucking, other than stocking and delivery of
light retail goods, or by any nuisance factors other than occasioned
by incidental light and noise of congregation of people and passenger
vehicles. This includes such uses as retail stores, banks, theaters,
business offices, newspaper offices, printing presses, restaurants,
public garages and service stations. In addition, the manufacture,
compounding, processing, or treatment of products is prohibited in
this district unless it is clearly incidental and essential to a use
permitted by right and unless all such products are customarily sold
at retail on the premises. In addition, this district is designed
to exclude manufacturing, compounding, processing, or treatment of
products and operations which are objectionable because of odor, dust,
smoke, noise, vibration, or other similar nuisances.
