ARTICLE 15

- Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial District C-M

Sec. 8-5.1501.- Purpose.

This district is for a transition between commercial and industrial areas. This is typically a commercial area with low visibility or the more visible industrial areas. The district provides for selected sales and services that are often considered inappropriate in primary retail areas due to size or operating characteristics, as well as various light industrial type uses. This district is not intended to provide typical retail sales normally found in the retail districts. This district is consistent with the Community Commercial, Regional Commercial and Light Industrial General Plan designations.
