(A) Intent, permitted uses, special uses and conditional uses.
(1) Intent. The B1 District is intended to provide a land use category for small to medium-scale commercial uses that provide products and services primarily to local customers. The provisions that regulate this land use district should promote appropriate commercial uses that are clearly non-conflicting with residential areas of the town. The town’s Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should strive to use this district selectively, in areas where small-scale commercial centers are appropriate to service neighborhoods. The Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should also strive to exclude businesses from the B1 district that have an adverse effect on existing or future adjacent neighborhoods.
