(a) Intent. The Neighborhood Commercial Center (B-4) District is designed to provide for neighborhood scale commercial and residential mixed uses configured in a pedestrian friendly manner. The B-4 District provisions are intended to:
(1) Promote an attractive streetscape through building placement and design;
(2) Restrict incompatible uses including gas stations, auto repair and car washes;
(3) Ensure development is easily accessible by foot or bicycle;
(4) Reduce the visual impact of parked vehicles by requiring the placement of vehicle parking areas to the side or rear of buildings;
(5) Create opportunities for residential uses when mixed with commercial uses; and
(6) Promote a balance of retail, service, dining, medical office and residential uses which serve and complement surrounding neighborhoods.
(b) Uses. Uses allowed in the B-4 District as permitted, accessory, conditional, limited, or interim uses are listed in Table 21.209(d).
(c) Standards. Development in the B-4 District must comply with the following standards.
(1) Floor area ratio, building floor area, impervious surface area, site width and site area. See § 21.301.01 for applicable standards.
(2) Structure and parking placement. See § 21.301.02 for applicable standards.
(3) Structure height. See § 21.301.10 for applicable standards.
(4) Retail floor area restrictions. To ensure that retail uses in the B-4 District are not regionally oriented, single tenant retail buildings or individual retail tenant spaces must not exceed 80,000 square feet in total floor area.
(5) Structure design. See § 21.301.03 for applicable standards.
