§ 4.8

Compatible Districts

(Ordinance 029698, 12/18/2012)

4.8.1 Purpose

  • Commercial Compatible District

    The Commercial Compatible (“CC”) District provides for a wide range of business uses in appropriate locations, which can provide a buffer between residential uses and intensive public facilities, private businesses and manufacturing uses which could present a threat to public health, safety and welfare. District uses are not characterized by uses that congregate large groups of people, unscreened outdoor storage, or uses that create nuisance factors of dust, odor and noise associated with certain business and manufacturing uses.

  • Industrial Compatible District

    The Industrial Compatible (“IC”) District provides for a wide range of industrial uses in appropriate locations, which can provide a buffer between residential uses and intensive public facilities, private businesses and manufacturing uses which could present a threat to public health, safety and welfare. District uses are not characterized by uses that congregate large groups of people, unscreened outdoor storage, or uses that create nuisance factors of dust, odor and noise associated with certain business and manufacturing uses.

    • 4.8.2 Permitted Uses

    The following principal uses are permitted by right, permitted subject to limitations, or require a special use exception or special permit in the “CC” Commercial Compatible and “IC” Industrial Compatible zoning districts.
