1173.01 PURPOSE.
   The General Business District is established to accommodate a broad range of business activity oriented toward community and/or regional markets. Such business uses, by their nature, rely on higher volumes of customer traffic and generally have higher impact levels on adjacent uses. The intent of the GB District is to encourage the most compatible relationship between permitted uses and overall traffic movement within the City, while minimizing negative impacts on adjacent land uses. The GB District is intended to be used primarily suburban settings; it is not to be used in the existing downtown area as a substitute for the DB District.
