(A) The B-l district is designed and intended to meet the day to day convenience shopping and service needs of persons residing in adjacent residential areas.
(B) It is the purpose of this district to accommodate commercial activities primarily offering goods or services which are required by a family at intervals of a week or less and at the same time protect adjacent residential areas from the adverse efforts of uncontrolled or unlimited commercial activity which can result in blighting influences upon residential uses. This district is intended to accommodate permitted uses typically in proximity to major shopping facilities and/or in compatible relationship with the major arterial street system and surrounding land uses.
(C) The nature of modern office use development provides greater compatibility for integration into a community structure; therefore, this district has been established for the purpose of encouraging office and related use development, but excluding general commercial activity with the exception of retail relating directly to the needs of employees in the office business district.
(D) All new development located in properties zoned Commercial B-l after March 1, 2013 must have public water and sanitary sewer available, as detailed in the current, applicable water and sanitary sewer ordinances, and be connected to the services.
