The C-5 Highway Commercial and Commercial Recreation District is a commercial district established in which the principal use of land is for establishments offering accommodations, supplies, or services to motorists, and for certain specialized uses such as retail outlets, extensive commercial amusements and service establishments which may serve the entire community but are not located in and should not be located in the central business district or the convenience district. Buildings, structures, and accessory uses customarily incidental to any of the these uses shall be permitted, provided that there shall be no manufacturing of products other than such as are customarily incidental to retail establishments. Any store or shop for retail trade or for rendering personal, professional or business service which does not produce more noise, odor, dust, vibration, or traffic than these uses shall be permitted.
