Sec. 30-433.1. - Intent of district. Pursuant to the general purposes of this chapter, the intent of the UB Urban Business District is to encourage business areas with a densely developed pedestrian-oriented urban shopping character, compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods, and with minimal disruption from vehicle-oriented land uses and features that would detract from a safe, convenient and economically viable pedestrian environment. The district is intended to promote continuity of storefront character along principal street frontages, with minimum interruption by driveways and vehicle traffic across public sidewalk areas. The regulations within the district are intended to preserve the predominant scale and character of existing urban shopping areas, promote retention of existing structures and encourage that new development be compatible with such existing areas and structures. (Code 1993, § 32-433.1; Code 2004, § 114-433.1; Code 2015, § 30-433.1; Code 2020, § 30-433.1)
