ARTICLE 17A
C-1 LIMITED BUSINESS DISTRICT
This district classification is established for restricted commercial business purposes. Recognizing that a general commercial district with its variety of land uses could cause a detrimental impact on neighboring lands, the regulations which apply within this district are designed to encourage the formation and continuance of a stable, economically healthy and compatible environment for businesses to serve the county and to promote the interest of the particular neighbors and the public welfare at large. This district is intended for use only when a commercial district, in its unrestricted form, would be detrimental to the surrounding area. This district is also intended to reduce traffic congestion, prohibit the development of "strip" type business areas, and prohibit encroachment by other uses that would adversely affect the character of the district.
Sec. 170A.- Dimensional requirements.
Required minimum lot size, yard setbacks, height limitations and related requirements are set forth in article 23.
Sec. 171A. - Permitted uses.
Any one or more of the following uses may be permitted in any C-1 district, subject to the further provisions of this ordinance, provided that no single enterprise occupies more than 3,000 square feet of floor area. (The specific use and any related activity anticipated by the party requesting the rezoning must be delineated in the zoning request.) The property will be rezoned for one or more specific uses only to the exclusion of all other listed permitted uses. The limits of permitted uses of the property, density or intensity of use, and height and size restrictions must have a reasonable relation to the rezoning, and must be in the best interest of public safety, welfare, and convenience.
