Chapter 17.37
B-3 ZONE—RESORT TOURIST COMMERCIAL
Sections:
17.37.050 Density regulations.
17.37.060 General regulations.
17.37.010 Purpose.
This district is designed for hotels and a variety of resorts and multiple-family residences. They can be freestanding or part of a resort community or planned unit development. Resort tourist locations capitalize on good transportation, the physical amenities of the area, and recreational or shopping opportunities. Resort tourist areas often include some ancillary retail, cultural, and recreational uses. In some areas of the community, lower density may be required to preserve beach character and environmental features, or it may be necessary due to other physical constraints of the specific area. High-density residential uses with a resort character and lifestyle may be integrated into resort uses and may share resort amenities. Resort tourism uses often are placed next to open spaces as a key amenity. (Ord. 837 § 1 (part), 2008)
