The character of development in this area is residential with limited home-based businesses or limited nonresidential uses. The primary orientation is to the neighborhoods and its residents with a strong emphasis on pedestrians. While the areas contain some home-based business and limited tourism-oriented businesses such as bed and breakfasts, the intent of regulating signs in this district is to recognize that these are residential neighborhoods that require signs that do not compete with the residential character of these districts.
