The Neighborhood Commercial zoning districts provide areas for commercial activity such as sale of convenience goods and personal services that primarily benefit nearby residential areas. Neighborhood commercial areas are generally located within neighborhoods and have pedestrian access to adjacent residential areas.

The Neighborhood Office zoning district provides a location for office development. The uses allowed have relatively low traffic generation. Areas of the Neighborhood Office zoning district may be appropriate adjacent to most residential uses, and as a transition between residential and nonresidential areas.

The Resort Commercial zoning districts provide for a wide variety of commercial activity such as tourist, water-oriented, retail commercial and indoor or outdoor amusement uses which reflect the character of a resort area. Emphasis is placed on establishing scenic and/or pedestrian corridors, walking and bike paths, amenities, and public open spaces.

The General Commercial zoning districts provide sufficient space in appropriate locations for all types of commercial and service activity, particularly along arterial streets where a general mixture of such activity now exists. Such uses are not characterized by extensive warehousing, frequent heavy trucking activity, open storage of material or the nuisance factors of dust, odor and noise associated with manufacturing.

The Intensive Commercial zoning district is intended to provide for intense commercial service activities, as well as a few light manufacturing uses. Such uses may be large in scale and generate substantial traffic, making the Intensive Commercial zoning district only appropriate along freeways and major arterials.

The Downtown Commercial zoning district encompasses the retail and office core of the central business district. Individual uses are typically limited in size although there may be regular and occasionally heavy traffic. The zoning district is intended to ensure harmonious development, redevelopment and rehabilitation of uses in and around the core historic downtown by integrating an appropriate mix of residential, public and civic office, retail and entertainment, uses.

The “Business Park” zoning district provides uses in a modern, landscaped, park-like setting. In addition, the zoning district provides opportunities for employment closer to residences in residential areas with corresponding reduction of travel time from home to work. The Business Park zoning district typically has more traffic than in an office area, but fewer heavy vehicles than in an industrial area. Business parks often include commercial activities such as restaurants, banks, day care and similar uses that are intended only to serve the on-site community.
