The General Business District is intended to permit a wider
range of business and entertainment activities than that permitted
in the Neighborhood Business District. The permitted uses would serve
not only nearby residential areas, but also people further away for
types of business and services usually found in major shopping centers
and Central Business Districts at the juncture of principal streets.
These uses would generate larger volumes of vehicular traffic, would
need more off-street parking and loading, and would require more planning
to integrate such districts with adjacent residential areas.
