A. 
The commercial districts are listed below. When this Zoning Ordinance refers to commercial, central business, office, or C zoning districts, it is referring to one of the following:

B. 
The district names and map symbols are intended to provide a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting the commercial or office orientation of the district.
A. 
Neighborhood Commercial. The purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial District is to encourage smaller-scaled commercial development, compatible with the scale and intensity of adjacent residential and noncommercial sites, and to support the goals and objectives contained in the Unified Comprehensive Plan. This district allows for commercial operations along collector and arterial type streets offering convenience shopping and services for adjacent residential areas.
B. 
Central Business. The purpose of the Central Business District is to foster a concentration of small-scale, mixed use activity and to support the goals and objectives contained in the Unified Comprehensive Plan. The CB District is established to maintain and enhance the traditional mix of retail, office, civic and residential uses within the core of the Villages. Development in this district should reinforce compact, pedestrian-oriented development and preservation of traditional historic character.
C. 
General Commercial. The purpose of the General Commercial District is to encourage commercial development and to support the goals and objectives contained in the Unified Comprehensive Plan. The GC District is established to provide areas for intensive commercial activities that primarily depend upon a large volume of vehicular traffic and serve the daily shopping needs of the community-at-large and surrounding areas. This district encourages the application of site design and buffering techniques to mitigate the impacts of commercial operations and traffic on adjacent uses and the traveling public.
D. 
Commercial Office. The purpose of the Commercial Office District is to accommodate office and nonretail activity in a manner that protects and enhances existing residential neighborhoods. The CO District permits a mix of residential and office type uses along primary and secondary thoroughfares that may not be suitable for single-family living due to increasing traffic volumes. These volumes create an environment suitable for certain multifamily and office uses that can exist in close proximity to neighborhoods without adversely affecting the residential environment.
Uses are allowed in commercial and office zoning districts in accordance with Table 21-2.
A. 
Uses identified with a "P" in Table 21-2 are permitted as-of-right in the subject zoning district, subject to compliance with all other applicable standards of this Zoning Ordinance.
B. 
Uses identified with a "SP" in Table 21-2 may be allowed if reviewed and approved in accordance with the special permit procedures contained in Article 66.
C. 
Uses not listed and those identified with a "-" are expressly prohibited.
