The C-1 Neighborhood Commercial Zone is intended to provide for a variety of retail, office, and service-oriented business activities that serve a local neighborhood area and population. The approach to development incorporates a smaller scale, and commercial uses of lower intensity for compatibility with the character of surrounding residential neighborhoods. Corner locations for Neighborhood Commercial uses are preferable to minimize disruption within residential neighborhoods. Neighborhood Commercial uses will be located along roadways traveled by localized or residential commuter traffic, and at intersections bisecting residential neighborhoods. Drive-through and auto service/repair businesses may be restricted through zoning regulations to minimize traffic and noise impacts on adjacent residential uses.
