The purpose of the C-3 Service District is to provide a district for service facilities orientated to vehicular traffic and access. Because of the unique character of this type of commercial activity and its great dependence upon transient trade and traffic, and because of the greater than normal adverse effects created by the uses within this district, the location of such activities are critical and should be developed either within other commercial spheres adjacent to arterial traffic routes or as well-buffered areas adjacent to major streets. This district also is intended as a business district which may be located adjacent to shopping centers or other retail business districts, thus keeping the basic retail areas compact and convenient, or in separate areas which may be located in close proximity to a major street or highway, in order that highway service types of land uses can be provided.
