Gilroy City Zoning Code

The intent of the C1 neighborhood commercial district is to provide areas in the city suitable for commercial uses of a low intensity and of a neighborhood character, which cater directly to residents of the immediate neighborhood only, rather than to the entire city. The uses in this district are intended to be of low intensity in order to be compatible with residential living. Ample landscaping and creative design are encouraged in the C1 neighborhood commercial district. The following regulations, except to the extent that they may be modified by a combining district, shall apply to every lot and building in a C1 neighborhood commercial district.

Land in the C1 neighborhood commercial district may be used as provided in the commercial use table, section 30.19.10. Conditional uses may be permitted with a conditional use permit, which may be issued by the planning commission in accordance with the regulations in section 30.50.30.

The lot, yard, height and additional requirements in the C1 neighborhood commercial district shall be as established in the commercial site and building requirement table, section 30.19.20.
