Generally, the B-1 District covers that portion of the town intended for the conduct of general business to which the public requires direct and frequent access, but is not characterized either by constant heavy trucking, other than stocking and delivery of light retail goods, or by any nuisance factors, other than incidental light and noise of congregation of people and passenger vehicles. This includes such uses as retail stores, banks, theaters, business offices, newspaper offices, restaurants, and taverns. The B-1 District is also encouraged to incorporate mixed-use designs, characterized by business uses along the street or water front with high-density residential above, as new developments and redevelopment occurs.
