1117.01 PURPOSE.
The purpose of this district is to provide for the development of uses which meet the day-to-day needs of one or more fully developed residential neighborhoods, a residential area of approximately 5,000 to 15,000 persons. Stores, offices and other businesses in this district should be useful to the majority of the neighborhood residents and be economically supported by the residents and not by the community as a whole. A grocery store or grocery store/drugstore combination is favored as the principal tenant in this district. All uses should be relatively nuisance-free to surrounding residents and not detract from the residential purpose and character of the surrounding neighborhood. Access to this district should be directly from an arterial or collector street and not through a residential district.
