The GB-1 General Business District is created to provide retailing and personal services which require larger tracts of land and encompass a larger service area than that of the Neighborhood Business District. This district is so designed to permit commercial development of permitted uses which will be limited only by standards set forth to protect the abutting districts and as directed against the extension of strip zoning. The General Business District shall be considered for use in limited areas adjacent to the Central Business District and in accessible locations along arterial streets on the Major Thoroughfare Plan. Strip zoning utilizing this district shall be prohibited.
