The C-1, Local Commercial District, is intended to permit retail business and service uses which are needed to serve the nearby residential areas. In order to promote the business developments so far as is possible and appropriate in each area, uses are prohibited which would create hazards, offensive and loud noises, vibration, smoke, glare or heavy truck traffic. The intent of this District is also to encourage the concentration of local business areas to the mutual advantage of both the consumers and merchants and to promote the best use of land at certain strategic locations and to avoid the continuance of encouraging marginal strip, business development along major thoroughfares.
