This district, containing neighborhood shopping
facilities, is intended to provide the daily convenience needs for
persons living in the immediate area. At the same time, this district
is intended to be relatively free of the nuisance effects which businesses
can render on adjacent residential areas. For this reason, only limited
types of businesses are permitted, i.e., those which are most compatible
with and/or directly serve a residential neighborhood.
