The regulations recognize the character of the existing area and respect that they are neighborhood commercial districts located within established residential neighborhoods. Within this district the following streets shall have the designations indicated:

::''Primary streets'': '''Bainbridge Street''', Carlton Avenue, Douglas Avenue, Fontaine Avenue, Garden Street, Goodman Street, Hinton Avenue, Holly Street, Lewis Street, Maury Avenue, '''Monticello Road''', and Walnut Street.
