Harvey Cedars City Zoning Code

It is recognized that the area encompassed by this district is suitable for commercial development by virtue of its existing development characteristics predominantly commercial. The high density of population in this section of the community and the frontage of the district on Long Beach Boulevard further contribute to its suitability for commercial development. However, it is also recognized that the land immediately to the east of that fronting the boulevard is ideal for residential development due to its proximity to the ocean and, for the same reason, there is considerable pedestrian traffic moving to and from the beach along the streets lying east of the boulevard. This district is being created in order to permit commercial uses to develop fronting the boulevard but not to encourage them to generate traffic along the streets leading to the ocean, which will pose a potential danger to pedestrian traffic and which could devalue residential properties lying east of this district.
