DIVISION 3. BUSINESS DISTRICTS

Sec. 24.1-331. NB-Neighborhood business district.

(a) Statement of intent. The NB district is intended to provide opportunities for limited types of commercial activities within or near residential districts and oriented primarily toward serving the day-to-day needs of nearby residential communities. The scope of commercial activities permitted is purposely limited in order to discourage substantial traffic from outside the immediate neighborhood. The NB district is intended for application in areas designated for neighborhood commercial development by the comprehensive plan. Because of the proximity to residences, particular attention is given to design and operational compatibility with homes.
