commercial districts
Business zones downtown
Commercial districts are areas within a city or town zoned primarily for business activity rather than residential use.
These zones typically concentrate retail shops, offices, restaurants, and service establishments along main streets or in designated downtown areas.
Zoning laws regulate what can be built in commercial districts, often restricting industrial operations or housing.
The city council approved new development in the commercial district along Main Street.
