Intent. The intent of the B Business District is to provide appropriate development standards for the traditional West Chester Pike commercial area, consisting primarily of relatively small-scale shops, offices and mixed-use structures. The characteristics of this district include rows of one-, two- and three-story narrow-frontage buildings constructed to front and side lot lines, with lots substantially covered by buildings. There is often little or no off-street parking. Patrons must use West Chester Pike on-street parking. While the retention of traditional Broomall businesses is to be encouraged, this district should not be physically extended beyond this traditional area, nor to properties not already meeting the above-noted lot-and-building characteristics.

Intent. The intent of the Highway Interchange District is:

(1) To provide appropriate locations for a variety of commercial/business uses in a close proximity to major highway interchanges so that vehicular access to the uses will have negligible impact on local roadways.

(2) To provide for the development of a well-planned, designed, built and maintained commercial/business complex consisting of a combination of retail, shopping, professional, health and business facilities and offices and entertainment on a large Highway Interchange District tract of ground.

(3) To preserve substantial portions of environmentally sensitive areas on the Highway Interchange District tract in their existing state by having conservation easement areas consisting of streams, wetlands, woodlands and steep slopes, thereby creating viewscapes from the commercially developed areas, resulting in a unique blending of a natural and commercial setting.

Intent. The intent of the N Neighborhood Center District is to provide appropriate locations and development standards for low-intensity commercial uses where more intensive commercial use would have adverse effects on adjacent and neighboring residential areas. The regulations that apply within the district provide for retail and office uses of limited scale that primarily serve nearby residents, affording opportunities for pedestrian access to local services. Buildings in this district should be compatible in size and scale with those in adjacent residential areas.
