The purpose of the C-4A Limited Central Business District is to provide a district for those retail, service, office and residential functions which are characteristic of a "downtown" area and to allow the present downtown area to expand, develop and redevelop, with emphasis on specialty shops and office uses with continuous linear low level building designs. Such areas are to be characterized by individual store fronts with public sidewalk access, as contrasted to shopping mall type development. Planned commercial development as provided for in this Ordinance will be encouraged, so as to provide a cohesive and unified central business district in general accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
