TABLE 5-D: MIXED-USE ZONE PURPOSE STATEMENTS
      B-1   To provide limited areas that support a small scale, pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment, allowing
            residents access to daily shopping and service needs within walking distance of nearby established residential
            neighborhoods. The B-1 zone provides for a mixture of commercial and service uses, closely integrated with –
            and complimentary to – the surrounding residential neighborhood fabric to support the concept of a
            complete neighborhood. The zone encourages both vertical and horizontal mixed-use, such as a commercial
            first floor with residential uses above, combined retail/office uses in a multi-story structure (vertical), or
            commercial uses mixed with three-family, four-family, townhouse, and multi-family structures across the face
            of a block (horizontal). Suitable locations for this zone may include street intersections and arterial streets
            with existing or proposed traditional neighborhood retail and service uses.
