1. Facilitate the sale of goods and services in areas which are most appropriate;
2. Provide attractive commercial and mixed use nodes in several areas of Wasatch County which are centrally located to population centers of residential or resort use;
3. Allow separation of dissimilar uses which may conflict either due to noise, appearance or other disturbances, and yet allow commercial uses to be close enough to resort or residential uses to be convenient;
4. Provide commercial zones that abut or are in close proximity to a state highway;
5. Provide access to commercial zones off major roadways that are convenient and able to handle major traffic volumes without hazards; and
6. If approved as a conditional use, small commercial nodes in neighborhood areas may be created regardless of proximity to a state highway.

Those principal uses or categories of uses as listed herein, and no others, are allowed as a permitted use in the commercial zone (C).

1. All uses contained herein are listed by number as designated in the Wasatch County land use classification, which is published and maintained by the planning department, and are attached, as appendix 1, chapter 16.36 of this title. Classes or groupings of uses permitted in the zone are identified by a four (4) digit number in which the last one or two (2) digits are zeros, and subuses of those categories or groupings will follow that number. (For example, a particular category may be listed as 8100, and a subcategory of 8100 would be 8110 and a subcategory of 8110 would 8111.) This document, available in the planning office, is to be used by the planning office and others to assist in determining similar uses and the intent of this chapter.
2. All such classes listed herein and all specific uses contained within them in the Wasatch County land use classification will be permitted in the commercial zone (C), subject to the limitations set forth herein:

If storage units are along a state highway storage units cannot be closer than 200' to the State right-of-way .

Each development lot in the commercial zone (C) shall be one-half (¹/₂) acre minimum and shall be large enough to accommodate the business facility, parking, landscaped areas and setbacks required by the approval of the use and established in this title. 

No width requirements are established for this zone, except that the width of the property must be adequate to accommodate the use proposed, the setback, gathering and buffer requirements, and the off street parking required. 

Each lot or parcel of land in the commercial zone (C) shall abut a public road or road built to county standards for a minimum distance of fifty feet (50') on a line parallel to the centerline of the road.

The adopted building code shall determine the distance between buildings. 

Height of all dwellings, accessory buildings and/or structures shall not exceed forty feet (40') above natural grade, unless approved as a conditional use.

Each commercial use shall provide approved parking sufficient for the use, as well as a safe and adequate pedestrian access to the building. All loading and unloading must be done in accordance with the required standards of this title. For further regulations on parking and loading, see chapter 16.33 of this title.
