See § 215-107 for definitions.[1]

Location. The planned commercial development option can be used only in the areas designated CC Community Commercial adjacent to Route No. 206.

Purpose. To provide convenient, aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian-sensitive areas for working and/or shopping for area residents and for highway users in general, without compromising the carrying capacity of the highway. This can be achieved by improving circulation between sites by permitting clustered development and encouraging shared access and shared parking.

Noncontiguous parcel clustering. The development potential of the land lying within the five-hundred-foot Route 206 Viewshed Corridor may be transferred to the areas designated CC Community Commercial adjacent to Route No. 206. The development potential of such property will be measured in development credits. The number of development credits attributable to that portion of a lot lying within the five-hundred-foot Route No. 206 Viewshed Corridor will be equal to the number of residential building lots that could be developed on that portion of the lot, applying the special design criteria for residential development in the viewshed corridor. See § 215-22C for design criteria. Development credits may then be transferred on the basis of 7,500 square feet of additional permitted floor area for each development credit.

Principal permitted uses: all uses permitted in the CC Community Commercial Zone, subject to the requirements of that zone.

Minimum area and yard requirements:

Floor area and impervious coverage:

Minimum off-street parking and loading. Same as required by §§ 215-28, 215-37 and 215-38.

General requirements.

Required findings. No planned commercial development shall be approved unless the Land Development Board has found the following facts and reached the following conclusions:
