CHAPTER 8

COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS

11-8-1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

   A.   Generally: The regulations for the commercial districts are designed to:
      1.   Encourage stable and efficient commercial areas to meet the needs for commercial goods and services of the trade area;
      2.   Minimize the adverse effects of commercial uses on other land uses; and
      3.   Provide opportunities for investment with development of residential areas and thoroughfares.
   B.   Specific Districts:
      1.   C-1 Office District: This commercial district is for the conduct of general and professional office and related activity to meet the needs of the community in such a manner as to not be offensive to a general neighborhood containing residential, religious, recreational and educational elements. It is intended that this district be located so as not to introduce traffic onto solely residential streets or become an intrusion into a residential district, but to serve as a buffer between residential and more intensive commercial activities.
      2.   C-2 Convenience Commercial District: This commercial district is intended for a unified grouping in one or more buildings of retail shops and stores and personal services of a limited size and service area that provide for the regular needs and are for the convenience of the people residing in the adjacent residential neighborhoods where retail shops and personal services are not otherwise readily available. It is intended that the suburban convenience center be developed as a unit with adequate off street parking space for customers and employees, and with appropriate landscaping and screening.
      3.   C-3 Planned Shopping Center District: This commercial district is intended for a unified grouping, in one or more buildings, of retail shops and stores that provide for the regular needs and are for the convenience of the people residing in the community. It is intended that the planned shopping center be developed as a unit, with adequate off street parking space for customers and employees, and with appropriate landscaping and screening materials.
      4.   C-4 Restricted Commercial District: This commercial district is established for major retail and service activity removed from the C-3 planned shopping center district with major thoroughfare access and provided with adequate open space and parking.
      5.   C-5 Automotive And Commercial Recreation District: This commercial district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for establishments offering accommodations, supplies or services to motorists, and for certain specialized uses such as retail outlets, extensive commercial amusement and service establishments which serve the entire community but do not and should not necessarily locate in more restrictive commercial districts.
      6.   C-6 General Commercial District: This commercial district is designed for the conduct of personal and business services and the general retail trade of the community. It is designed to accommodate a wide variety of commercial uses in the C-3 planned shopping center district or areas of mixed business enterprises. It will not normally be applied in the case of new commercial areas. (Ord. 939, 11-14-2011)
