The C-2 district is intended to help strengthen the vitality and character of Firebaugh's downtown commercial district by establishing an appropriate list of permitted uses, regulating the size and location of buildings, parking lots, landscaping and other improvements, in a manner that promotes a vibrant pedestrian-oriented shopping environment. In general, new buildings shall front onto the public sidewalk, with on-site parking located to the rear or side of buildings. Large merchandise-display windows are required along the public sidewalk, as opposed to blank building walls.
