Community Business District

The purpose of the community business district is to accommodate mid-size retail and service development along corridors as a transition from the downtown to the regional business areas along Route 2 and Route 40. This district is intended to provide for the orderly and attractive grouping at appropriate locations of commercial activities of a more general retail and wholesale nature, and of the office and service facilities serving a larger community trade area. Uses in the CB district have the potential to generate significant automobile traffic, and therefore care must be taken to properly design access and parking facilities. Since this district is located along the roads that serve as gateways, quality building architecture, landscaping and other site improvements are necessary to ensure this type of development enhances Sterling's image. The size and location of such districts shall be based upon relationship of the community need and economy.
