5.02-A District Description and Policies

   1.   Description
   The C-2 Outlying Commercial District is a specialized district established to permit and regulate commercial uses which are essentially automobile oriented and which are located outside of the Village Center. This District recognizes that significant traffic problems exist along adjoining arterial traffic routes, and that without careful planning and design, such traffic problems may be acutely intensified. The uses in this District will be carefully regulated to control their impact upon public facilities and other types of uses. Expansion of the C-2 Outlying Commercial District will be discouraged except in areas where significant considerations make the area particularly suitable for this type of commercial development.
   2.   Policies
      a.   Planned Developments pursuant to Article 12 will be encouraged.
      b.   Strip commercial development is the development of an elongated commercial district which parallels a highway or street and which may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following characteristics: shallow lot depth with abutting non-commercial uses to the rear, inadequate front yard landscaping, a proliferation of ingress and egress points, inadequate sign control, and inadequate provisions for off-street parking and loading facilities. Creation of a new strip commercial development will be discouraged. Extension of existing strip commercial developments will be permitted only when such development would constitute the sole reasonable use of the property, where adequate buffering is provided and where traffic flow and capacity will not be adversely affected.
      c.   Safety and convenience in the public streets and highways shall be protected by strict regulation of access points and by the requirement of adequate off-street parking and loading spaces.
      d.   To preserve and promote the development of the Village in an attractive manner and to assist in stabilizing of land values along zoning district boundaries, open space, fencing and landscaping will be required and signage will be controlled pursuant to the regulations of this Ordinance.
