Highway Business (HB) Districts are commercial areas located primarily adjacent to heavily traveled arterial roads, such as Amherst Street and the Daniel Webster Highway. General Business (GB) General Business (GB) Districts are similar to the HB Districts in purpose, function, and appearance, but require a smaller minimum lot size. The GB Districts are generally found in close proximity to the HB Districts, but tend to be developed as shopping centers with large parking areas (including the malls), rather than for "strip" commercial development, which characterizes development in the HB Districts. Downtown (D-1 and D-3) The D Districts consist of the downtown and the surrounding business area. These are mixed-used districts, which permit some apartment and multifamily uses as well as commercial and institutional uses. The D Districts are pedestrian-oriented as opposed to automobile-oriented. These districts include many of Nashua's historic structures. Park Industrial (PI) The Park Industrial (PI) Districts are industrial areas that, for the most part, abut the major turnpike interchanges, and are adjacent to residential zones. The PI District provides locations for light industry and industrial parks. This district implements the Master Plan recommendation to provide adequate zoning for industrial park-type development. General Industrial (GI) [Amended 2-26-2008 by Ord. No. O-08-07 ] The General Industrial (GI) Districts are the older, traditional industrial areas of the inner City. They are often in close proximity to the Nashua or Merrimack Rivers and are generally accessible by railroad and/or local roads. Most of Nashua's heavy industries are located in the GI Districts. This district implements the Master Plan recommendation to provide a reasonable amount of space for heavy industrial uses, provided they are environmentally sound and do not detract from neighboring land uses. Airport Industrial (AI) This district includes the Boire Field Airport and the surrounding industrially zoned land. It supports the airport's operations by providing an area for airport-related and airport-compatible uses.
