§ 161.322 B-PL PLANNED BUSINESS.
   (A)   B-PL Land Use District Statement of Intent. This district is created to provide for the construction of a planned shopping center offering a wide variety of goods and services, and which caters to the auto oriented shopper. This district is similar to the Secondary Business District, but the differentiation between these districts is primarily in the minimum size tract of land involved. Any land so designated must necessarily be through the rezoning process and this will require amendment to the zoning ordinance and zoning district map.
