The C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District is established to provide for a variety of commercial uses, including retail goods establishments, personal service establishments and office uses. In addition, the district permits multi-family residential housing units integrated into the district to encourage a pedestrian-friendly, walkable, mixed-use neighborhood. Allowable densities, setback, and height regulations within the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District are of a comparatively lower scale than those within the C-2 General Commercial district.
