The Retail District is established to provide locations for various types of general retail and service uses for one or more neighborhoods. Developments within a Retail District should utilize established landscape and buffering requirements and be limited to two stories in height. The Retail District and shopping areas should generally be located at intersections of major thoroughfares and convenient to their residential service area. This zoning district may be appropriate in areas designated as retail on the Future Land Use Plan.
