Section 405.480 Intent And Purpose Of District.
[Ord. No. 388 Art. IX § 1, 8-7-1980]
This district is intended to provide commercial locations for uses which serve as a convenience to the traveler, require large areas of land or require convenient access to all parts of the community in order to have an efficient operation. It is further intended that the uses be of a single-purpose character and not be of a nature in which people walk from store to store as in a nucleated center. Floor areas are restricted and screening and off-street parking are required to reduce possible adverse effects on surrounding residential uses.
