GENERAL. This district is intended to be governed by standards established by the Plan Commission and the Common Council to provide for the best development and most functional commercial service district, taking into account that the Fremont Commercial District in many respects cannot reasonably feasibly be altered from its current status, but the purpose of the present regulations for this district are that the best possible standards be recognized for other commercial districts in the City. This district is intended to accommodate the heavy service industries at locations directly accessible to the City's arterial and transportation systems where they can conveniently serve the business and industrial areas of the City.
