B-2 To provide locations for a mixture of commercial, service, and residential uses in a comfortable pedestrian
environment that is easily accessible and well-connected to surrounding neighborhoods. Such a mixture may
serve the daily needs of nearby residents within walking distance, as well as surrounding neighborhoods via
multiple modes of transportation. The zone provides a broad range of goods and services with a mixture of
large and small buildings, such as grocery stores, shops and services located in shopping centers and along
arterial streets. The B-2 zone’s multi-modal orientation accommodates all modes of transportation, and the
standards of the zone require that development relate to surrounding neighborhoods by design, orientation,
and circulation patterns. The zone encourages mixed-use development, and provides locations for moderate
to high-density housing, including three-family, four-family, townhouse, and multi-family structures in urban
neighborhoods along arterials.

B-2b To provide neighborhood and community retail, business and service establishments that are oriented to and
built close to the street. The B-2b zone is suitable in areas where a more compact urban development pattern
exists or where a neighborhood-compatible commercial district is established which exhibits a pedestrian scale
and character. Such locations may include the peninsula and other arterials and intersections with an existing
urban or neighborhood-oriented building pattern. The B-2b zone encourages mixed-use development, and
provides locations for moderate to high-density housing in urban neighborhoods along arterials.
