The intent of the C1 Commercial District is to provide for more intensive commercial uses and businesses that primarily serve the needs of local residents by providing basic goods and services. It may also provide for multi-family housing and mixed uses. While some visitor-serving uses may occur, it is not the primary focus of the Commercial District. It is specifically intended that no activities that emit annoying levels of noise, smoke, and/or vibration be permitted. Designs in the Commercial District should continue the twentieth century seashore theme. The C1 Commercial District implements in part the NC neighborhood commercial land use designation of the Long Beach comprehensive plan. (Ord. 959, 10-15-2018)
