Neighborhood Business District (NBD). The Neighborhood Business Districts are located throughout the Town, and permit a higher density, scale and intensity of development than is permitted in the surrounding district. (1) Purpose. The Neighborhood Business Districts are intended to serve as accessories to the Town's residential neighborhoods. They are intended to promote and accommodate a mix of commercial, residential and other uses, all within a short distance of existing neighborhoods. In addition to other uses permitted throughout the Greenbelt, Waterfront, Neighborhood and Hamlet Districts, the Neighborhood Business Districts permit business retail and lower-impacting neighborhood-scale nonresidential uses. They also provide for assembly uses such as dining, entertaining, and social functions. (2) Existing character. The Neighborhood Business Districts include those existing smaller-scale nonresidential areas that pose minimum physical and environmental constraints to development and that have already developed in the outlying crossroads areas of Town. The districts encompass several existing concentrations of neighborhood-scale nonresidential uses which have served adjoining residential neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Business Districts are adequately served by a mix of local, county and state roadways. Limited public utility infrastructure exists in some of the Neighborhood Business Districts. H. St. Andrews District (SAD).
