§ 36-254. Intent.  


Latest version.
  • It is the intent of the B-1 Central Business District to provide for office buildings and the great variety of retail stores and related activities which occupy prime retail frontage in the downtown area and serves comparison, convenience and service needs of the entire city as well as surrounding residential and agricultural area beyond the city limits. The district regulations are designed to promote convenient pedestrian shopping and stability of retail development by encouraging a contiguous retail frontage and by prohibiting automotive related, highway service and nonretail areas which tend to break up such continuity.
