This commercial district is intended for the conduct of business activity which is located at the edge of residential areas but which serves a larger trade area than the immoderately surrounding residential neighborhoods. Business uses will most often be found in a wide variety of commercial structures, normally on individual sites with separate ingress, egress, and parking. Because of the varied uses permitted, it is important to be separated as much as possible visually and physically from any nearby residential areas and to limit the harmful effects of increased traffic, noise, and general non-residential activity which will be generated. Any outdoor displays, storage and sales shall be strictly prohibited unless conducted pursuant to a Special Use Permit that has been granted in conjunction with a Fee in Lieu of Sales Tax Agreement.
