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.
