1.

The C-2 Commercial/Service District is intended for the grouping of retail merchandising, service businesses, and appurtenant activities into a concentrated area serving the general shopping and service needs of the zoning district. It is important to keep people living within, and in close proximity to, this district as well as encouraging persons to visit the area. Though residential users are permitted to cohabitate in the district, principal permitted uses include department stores, apparel stores, general retail sales, and similar uses appropriate for comparison-shopping. The area also encourages service-oriented businesses. The district is not intended for heavy commercial uses, those uses that consume large areas for storage or display of merchandise (indoors or out of doors), or those businesses that may not be considered compatible with the adjacent, existing, residential uses.

2.

The district is intended to support Central Business District areas, accommodate existing uses, and provide for a transition from commercial to residential zoning.
