C-3 Thoroughfare Service Districts are intended to serve the needs of motor vehicle traffic at or near the intersections of major thoroughfares or freeway interchanges. Avoiding undue congestion at intersections by promoting safe and efficient traffic flow, thereby diminishing the adverse influences of traffic on adjacent land uses, are principal considerations in the application of the C-3 District.
