The intent of this Article in establishing a Highway/Auto Commerce District is to provide appropriate areas for commercial establishments which are oriented to the motoring public or which require large sites for off-street parking or display of merchandise. Additionally, the establishment of such District is in recognition of existing uses of this nature in decentralized locations, due in part to the past and present shortage of potential commercial sites within the downtown area.

   It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any building or premises within the City and within the area one and one-half (1 1/2) miles beyond its corporate limits for any purpose other than as listed below. (1982 Code)

   A.    Commercial establishments which are oriented to the motorist such as eating places, automobile service stations, auto repair shops, car washes and motels.

   B.    Accessory uses incidental to the foregoing principal uses such as off-street parking signs. (1982 Code)

   C.    Multiple-family residences of up to two (2) stories in height. (Ord. 659, 3-15-1994)

   D.    All uses which are permitted under C2 Downtown Commerce District may be permitted. (Ord. 695, 10-1-1996)

   Commercial establishments requiring large sites for off-street parking or for outdoor display and sales such as farm implement sales, mobile home sales, and building material sales. (1982 Code)
