The C-1 (suburban office) district is intended to provide a location for those administrative and professional offices which can occupy smaller structures in a landscaped setting. This type of development serves as a buffer between more intense retail and office commercial uses and established residential neighborhoods. Emphasis is placed on smaller, individual freestanding buildings, landscaping, setbacks, sign control, and restricted building height in order to promote maximum aesthetic considerations in establishing protection for nearby residences. (Ord. 832 §1, 1997)
