This district exists in the text of the code but not on the map. <br />• B-4, Comprehensive Business District. There is only one location zoned B-4, Comprehensive <br />Business District; it is along Rice Street south of County Road C. <br />These changes would leave only the B-3, General Business District plus one district to be added. <br />District to Be Added: It is proposed that the City create a new district, Corridor Mixed, and apply <br />it along Rice Street and portions of Little Canada Road west of the freeway. That district would <br />allow a variety of retail and service businesses, vertically mixed commercial and residential <br />buildings, and residential buildings with more than 8 units apiece. The intention is to allow more <br />market flexibility in the pattern of land uses while improving or retaining high standards for site <br />design. Improved market choice should encourage new investment and more efficient land use. <br />Current Commercial Zoning Districts Proposed Commercial Zoning Districts <br />B-2, Automotive Business <br />C-1, General Commercial B-3, General Business <br />B-4, Comprehensive Business <br />R-B, Residential / Business R-B, Residential / Business <br />-- Corridor Mixed <br />Industrial Districts to Be Deleted: The Business-Warehouse, Business-Industrial and the <br />General Industrial Districts should be deleted because they are each mapped in only one or two <br />small locations. They could all be replaced by the amended I-1, Light Industrial District. <br />The Business-Industrial District is mapped in one, small location along County Road D and <br />occupied by a self-storage building. That site could be rezoned as either the new I-1, Light <br />Industrial District, or one of the residential districts. <br />Industrial Districts to Be Created: Create a new, I-1, Limited Industrial District and allow a wide <br />range of activities such as manufacturing, office-warehouse buildings, office-showroom buildings, <br />office buildings, contractors’ yards, motor vehicle sales, restaurants and adult businesses. Use <br />this district in place of the several northern locations currently zoned I-1, Light Industry, I-P, <br />Industrial Park, B-1, Business-Industrial, and B-W, Business-Warehouse. <br />Current Industrial Zoning Districts Proposed Industrial Zoning Districts <br />I-1, Light Industry I-1, Limited Industrial <br />B-I, Business / Industrial
