Purpose. The RS-C Resort Commercial District is intended to apply to established resort areas in the City. Its purpose is to provide for the City's main industry, consisting predominantly of transient and tourist-oriented uses, at such intensity as is justified by the City's limited land resources, high land values and infrastructure capacity.
