17.28.005 Purpose.
The purpose of the business district is to provide adequate and appropriate areas within the city where office, retail and other commercial uses can be developed. In identifying appropriate areas for business zones, factors such as visibility and access to roads with high traffic counts are considered.
Business districts are intended to provide goods and services in support of the city’s residential population. Due to the relative scarcity of appropriate areas for business development, however, residential uses are not permitted. (Ord. 1912 § 1, 2017; Ord. 1405 § 2, 1999).
