AND DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT This district intends to provide for the development of small office structures, which may be located proximate to residential areas. Buildings located in this district are generally small one, to two-and a half-story structure, and can accommodate most professional office functions that require modest physical space. Also permitted are structures originally constructed for residential purposes, which are suitable for small offices and which are—from land use and zoning perspectives—justify such a use. These structures may either remain in residential usage or be adapted for use as small offices. Retail uses are severely limited and consist only of uses that directly supplement an office use (i.e. pharmacy supplements, a medical clinic). The district is normally located on primary or secondary thoroughfares, is relatively small, and requires protective measures to make the uses permitted more compatible with adjacent land uses.
History

"Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
