8.5 Highway Business District (H-B) Intent: The Highway Business District (H-B) is established to provide primarily for auto- dependent uses in areas not amenable to easy pedestrian access and a comfortable pedestrian environment. It is expected that the Highway Business District (H-B) will serve not only the Catawba Community, but interstate and highway travelers as well. Because of the scale and access requirements of uses for this category, they often cannot be compatibly integrated with the Central Business and Office and Institutional Districts. Development at district boundaries must provide a compatible transition to uses outside the district; property boundaries adjacent Interstate 40 will require a 50-foot foliated buffer yard; and frontages on major or minor arterials will require formal street tree planting. 8.5.1 Permitted Uses.
