(a) Purpose. The "B-1" Local Retail District is intended to permit the development of retail sales and personal services required to meet the day-to-day needs of an adjacent residential neighborhood. Stores, businesses and offices in this zone should be useful to the majority of the neighborhood residents, should be economically supportable by nearby population, and should not draw community-wide patronage. A grocery store or grocery store/drugstore combination is favored as the principal tenant in a local retail district. In general, the "B-1" Local Retail District is intended for the grouping of a grocery store and small retail businesses and office uses which are relatively nuisance-free to surrounding residences and which do not detract from the residential purpose and character of the surrounding neighborhood. Residential uses may be permitted on the second story or above when located in a building in which the first floor is devoted to a permitted use.
