The purpose of this district is to provide for uses principally to accommodate the sale of convenience retail goods and personal services purchased frequently for daily or weekly needs and general commercial uses. The district is intended to serve families living within the surrounding area. Since slightly over 50% of the patrons of such a district are multipurpose shoppers, it is intended that the design of this district will encourage groupings of establishments located on a unified site providing adequate off-street parking facilities as well as an efficient and safe method of handling vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
