The PC district is intended to provide for the development of retail shopping centers, hotel/motel services, destination resorts, and office parks. Facilities in planned commercial districts are designed to be used in common, such as ingress and egress roads, extensive parking accommodations, proper relations to traffic arteries, and compatibility with surrounding uses. Because large retail/service centers have significant impact upon the development of the city, final authority over their development shall be retained by the city council, with extensive review by the planning commission.
