The purpose of this district is to provide space for office buildings for business, industry, and nonprofit organizations engaged primarily in general office uses and professional services but not engaged in retail sales or direct customer services for daily or frequent needs. The district is designed to accommodate those uses which will have a minimal effect on the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the collector or arterial to which it has access. A C-5 District should be located on a collector or arterial street and should be adjacent to an existing commercial or industrial use.
