Brunswick City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 1258

C-H Highway Interchange Commercial District

1258.01 PURPOSE.

Brunswick recognizes that the Interstate 71-Center Road interchange area is the principal access point to the community and that the vacant land in this immediate area is a strategic resource for future development of the City. It is the intent of the City that this area be reserved for significant, high visibility commercial uses which will reflect positively on the image of the community. The C-H Highway Interchange Commercial District is established to further these objectives, to provide for uses which accommodate travelers on Interstate 71 and to provide locations for other commercial uses which particularly benefit from the high visibility and regional accessibility offered by the Interstate. The C-H district is further intended to minimize interference with through traffic on Center Road and with traffic using the interchange ramps.
