The regulations set forth in this Article or set forth elsewhere in this Appendix A when referred to in this Article, are the district regulations for the NC Neighborhood Commercial District. The NC District is intended to be a commercial area, which provides products and services to meet daily living needs serving residents in nearby neighborhoods. These areas are to be developed at a relatively low intensity and at a small scale to ensure neighborhood compatibility. As such, sites should be of sufficient size for integrated off street parking, landscaping and loading to permit safe and efficient vehicular traffic circulation. Within the district any traffic or parking generated by a project must be studied and planned so as not to cause a detrimental or adverse impact on adjacent residential properties. In order to promote such business development, as is appropriate in each area, uses are prohibited which would create traffic or parking hazards, offensive and loud noises, vibration, smoke, glare, heavy truck traffic or late hours of operation. Development within this district should be consistent with the locations and goals as provided in the Village's Comprehensive Plan. (Ord. 03-1155, 3-18-2003)
