This designation is intended to allow for a single-family residential use or a compatible low-intensity commercial and office use, or a combination of residential/nonresidential uses within existing residences and auxiliary structures. It is intended to encourage a mix of appropriate land uses within transitional neighborhoods that are adjacent to more intensive commercial, office and industrial areas. Low intensity commercial and office uses would be allowed which would not result in significant land use compatibility impacts, but which would be greater than that which would be permitted through home occupation regulation.
(Ord. 566 § 3, 2019)
The residential business (RB) district has been created to implement the goals, objectives and land use designations of the General Plan.
