Garden City City Zoning Code
C-1 LOCAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT
§ 154.270 PURPOSE.
The C-1 Local Business District is designed for the convenience of persons residing in adjacent residential areas, and is intended to permit only those uses as are necessary to satisfy the limited shopping and services needs of the residents in the immediate area. Commercial development in this district offers a less intensive range of goods and services than uses permitted in the C-2 district and the C-3 districts. Because of the limited variety of business types permitted in the C-1 district, special attention must be focused on site layout, building design, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, and coordination of site features between adjoining sites. Accordingly, C-1 Local Business District developments should be as follows.
(A) Compatible in design with adjacent commercial development and adjacent residential districts.
(B) Designed with a pedestrian orientation,
(C) Buffered from or located away from residential areas.
(D) Located with direct access to a major thoroughfare or indirect access to a major thoroughfare through a minor road or service drive.
