32 COMMERCIAL ZONES
The purpose of the commercial zones is to provide places in the municipality for a wide range of commercial and retail trades and uses, offices, business and professional services, and other uses that contribute to the economic stability of the community and wellbeing of its employees and residents. The zones are intended to provide employment opportunities and expand the municipal tax base, while also encouraging sustainable development and providing an attractive transition between residential and non-residential uses.
To anticipate and respond to the changing needs of our community and implement commercial node concepts included in the adopted General Plan, the following zones are established:
