Zoning Guide Detroit

B1

Restricted Business District

Zone description

The B1 District is designed to provide an adequately controlled transition in land use from residential to business and commercial uses and is mapped accordingly. Permitted uses are limited to those which are desirable and can be fitted into such a transitional pattern of land use. Front, side, and rear setbacks are required of all permitted residential and commercial uses. To protect housing adjacent or across an alley, a lot line wall is required of nonresidential uses where adjacent to, or across an alley from, residential property.
