Can I use this property for retail?

Retail uses are the defining use of the City's business districts: Neighborhood Business (B-1) for local shopping and personal services, Community Business (B-2) for surrounding-neighborhood shopping and service needs, General Business (B-3) for regional-scale shopping centers, and Commercial (C-1) for a broad range of retail, repair, wholesale, and heavy-equipment sales. Professional Office (PO) is oriented to administrative, professional, and financial offices rather than retail, and Table 155.501 marks most retail use types blank (not permitted) in PO. Industrial districts (I-L, I-M, I-H) also permit most general retail use types (for example grocery, hardware, furniture, and electronics sales) as of right per Table 155.501, alongside the industrial-specific retail rows tied to outdoor storage, vehicle sales, or heavy equipment. Retail in a planned district (PUD, MXD, PCD) depends on that project's approved plan. Confirm the specific use table marking and required standards for your intended retail use with Planning and Economic Development at 954-450-1060.
