17.56.010 Purpose.

The local business-restricted district is intended to supplement the low intensity neighborhood commercial objectives of the B-1 local business district in neighborhoods: where small, shallow or narrow lots are present that would require the granting of a variance or special exception in order to create a building pad; where commercial parcels are adjacent to residential development located on small, narrow or shallow lots or which have offsets below those required by code; where the pattern of land division has resulted in fragmented parcels under the ownership of individuals with unrelated interest; or where the mass and form of adjacent residential and commercial buildings is diminutive. The supplemental regulations of this district address building size and height, floor area ratio and architecture. (Ord. 1589 § 1(1), 1997: prior code § 17.345 (part))
