§ 154.172. B-1 LIMITED OFFICE BUSINESS DISTRICT.
(A)
Purpose Statement: The B-1 limited office business district is intended to allow for the development of small professional offices near residential areas. The typically small B-1 zoning district, generally located along primary and secondary thoroughfares, is intended to buffer existing residential uses from existing larger scale commercial uses. This district must, therefore, abut an existing business or manufacturing zoning district. Uses may be located in former residential structures suited for adaptive reuse and in new, small scale office buildings. Development in the B-1 district requires protective measures, including limits on retail activities to those which supplement an office use, and high quality landscaping to make permitted uses more compatible with adjacent land uses.
