[Amended 11-26-2012 by Res. No. 2012-10]
Pursuant to the general purposes of this chapter, the intent
of the B-1 neighborhood commercial district is to provide for neighborhood
commercial development primarily serving the needs of the residents
within the district and the surrounding neighborhood and related uses
including those public and semi-public uses and accessory uses as
may be necessary to serve those businesses and residents. It is also
the intent of this chapter to preserve and enhance the established
character of older mixed use commercial and residential neighborhoods
in the city by ensuring that infill development, as well as redevelopment,
will be consistent with the predominant existing development pattern
of such neighborhoods. The district regulations incorporate form-based
provisions that are designed to preserve the urban nature and sustainability
of such neighborhoods as characterized by a mixture of detached and
attached dwellings of two stories in height with a distinct orientation
to the street, and situated on small lots with narrow yards, minimal
setbacks from the streets and minimal interruption of the street frontages
by open spaces, driveways, parking areas or accessory buildings visible
from the streets. The district regulations are also intended to encourage
traditional neighborhood development, as well as improvement and efficient
use of older commercial-style buildings by enabling by right and through
the conditional use permit process, mixed use developments, commercial
uses that are limited in location, type and scale and are intended
to provide for the convenience of neighborhood residents within walking
distance and to avoid traffic, parking congestion, noise and other
impacts that typically result from uses that draw patrons from outside
a neighborhood.
Certain uses are allowed by conditional use permit in the B-1
district, as follows:
(1) Public maintenance and service facility.
(2) Antenna and/or Satellite, when installed and maintained in accordance
with in article XXIII.
(3) Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development District (As regulated under Article
VII of Appendix D the Zoning ordinance of the City Code).
