Section 1. - [Purpose.]#

The regulations set forth in this article, or set forth elsewhere in this ordinance when referred to in this article, are the regulations in the "B-3" Central Commercial District. This district encompasses the shopping and office core of the central business district. Appropriate uses are the same as for the "B-2" General Commercial District, but with altered off-street parking requirements, in recognition of the practical difficulty of providing off-street parking for smaller establishments, and because of the relatively small area included in the district, all points being within convenient walking distance of the boundaries beyond which additional off-street parking should be provided.

Section 2. - Use regulations.#

The use regulations for the "B-3" Central Commercial District are as follows:

(1) Any use allowed in the "B-2" General Commercial District;

Except that residential uses in this zoning designation that are west of Adams and Second Streets are subject to the following:

a. No first floor dwelling uses along public street frontages§;

b. Dwelling units are permitted to the rear of the first floor, so long as a commercial use occupies at a minimum of 51% of the first floor area.§

1. In order to retain a commercial character, a separate entrance to the residential unit is required, so that there is not an interruption of the commercial frontage in the district.§

2. Historic properties located in a local historic district are subject to additional review and approval.§ Additional requirements may be required.

c. Dwelling units on upper floors are permitted§;

d. Buildings existing prior to the adoption of this amendment that were built as, or is, a single family detached dwelling shall be permitted by right and not deemed nonconforming.§

(2) The manufacturer of plastic lenses, subject to the parking requirements of article 19§;

(3) The fabrication of soft goods from materials not manufactured on the premises; provided, that the portion of the building adjacent to a public street retain a commercial character, so as not to cause the interruption of the commercial frontage in the district, and that all loading of fabricated goods and materials not manufactured on the premises be restricted to loading areas at the rear of the building§, and as prescribed under article 20 of this ordinance.

(Ord. No. 17-32, 7-31-2017)

Section 3. - Height and area.#

Height and area regulations shall be as set forth in the chart of article 22, and in addition the following regulations shall apply:

(1) On an interior lot there shall be a side yard not less than five (5) feet in width on the side of a lot adjoining a residence district§;

(2) On an interior lot there shall be a rear yard not less than twenty (20) feet in depth on the rear of a lot adjoining a residential district§;

(3) The lot area requirements for dwellings are the same as those in the "R-5" Multiple-Family Residence District.

Section 4. - Reference to additional regulations.#

The regulations contained in this article are supplemented or modified by regulations contained in other articles of this ordinance, especially the following: Article 19, Off-street parking regulations; Article 20, Off-street loading regulations; Article 23, Supplementary use regulations; Article 25, Supplementary height, area and bulk regulations.
