This district is designed and intended to promote the development of commercial uses which are predominately auto-oriented in nature. The district caters to highway-oriented businesses as well as to businesses that provide basic shopping and service needs to the community. While the types of uses (permitted, conditional and interim) are similar to those found within the "B-2" General Business District; the Tier One Business District takes into consideration the unique location of parcels identified within this district. These parcels have not yet been annexed into the corporate limits of the City; however, they are located within the immediate growth boundary of the City and may become part of the community in the near future. When designing a commercial site within the Tier One Business District, compatibility with adjacent uses and buildings are required. Site design, building sizes and materials, and screening/landscaping are still considered important when creating and maintaining a thriving commercial base.
