It is the intent of this district to provide for small scale retail and service developments which serve the convenience needs of a limited population and/or geographic area (i.e., a neighborhood) within both rural and designated urban development areas as defined within the town's comprehensive plan. In accordance with the comprehensive plan, this district is not intended to accommodate major or large scale commercial or service activities. The CN district is intended to be oriented to and compatible with the neighborhood to be served, and should be located on a collector or arterial road.
