The "C-4" highway commercial district is intended to allow mixed retail and service type businesses, consisting of both commercial merchandise and personal services, currently or typically not available in the "C-1" or "C-2" commercial district, for the purpose of serving highway travelers and, to a more limited degree, the York local and regional community, while accommodating both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, with emphasis on a site design which provides for and encourages safe pedestrian use throughout the district. Site development(s), throughout the district, will require the planned construction of sidewalks, streets, on- and off-street parking and landscaping, as determined by the director of public works.
