A.   C-1 Commercial Zone:

      1.   The C-1 Commercial Zone has been established for the primary purpose of providing a location where retail, commercial and service facilities can be provided to residents and to the traveling public in the area. The zone is characterized by a mixture of predominately commercial uses and limited dwellings; however, as assurance that the goods and services will be made available without undue detrimental effects upon the surrounding dwellings, certain requirements have been imposed upon the use of land and buildings within the zone.

      2.   In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this title and to stabilize and protect essential characteristics of this zone, the regulations in this chapter shall apply to the C-1 Commercial Zone.

   B.   C-2 Commercial Zone:

      1.   The C-2 Commercial Zone has been established for the purpose of providing districts where the use of the land is to accommodate agriculture, commercial storage, industrial warehouses and advertising sign display.

      2.   The zone is to be situated at locations adjacent to the interstate freeway, but not at or near on ramps or off ramps.

   3.   The objectives in establishing the C-2 Commercial Zone are to promote the general welfare of the residents of the City, to allow for commercial storage facilities and warehouse facilities in an area that is not residential, and to discourage any use because of its character and nature that would thwart the use of this land for its primary purpose.
