Purpose. The purpose of the C-1 Select Commercial
District is to provide locations for retail, office, service and related
uses that serve neighborhood and community-wide markets.
The district is designed to encourage the development
of uses which require a well-designed environment on moderate-size
lots with locations that emphasize visibility and access to a major
state or county highway.
Intensive, traditional strip commercial development
is discouraged, and specific design standards are established to ensure
that the impact of these developments will not create an adverse impact
on adjacent areas.
Special design requirements, including landscaping,
parking and access control standards, are included in order to ensure
development of a high-quality, low-intensity commercial environment
compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Accessory buildings and structures shall be provided for all uses in accordance with the requirements of § 225-59 and the general requirements of Part 6.
Bulk regulations, including lot area, setback requirements
and height limitations, shall be provided for all uses in accordance
with the general requirements of Part 7.
A site plan shall be presented to and approved by
the Planning Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit
or zoning authorization for any use within the C-1 Select Commercial
District.
Purpose. The purpose of the C-2 General Commercial
District is to provide areas for a diversity of economic activities,
including the exchange of goods and the provision of services to residents
of the county and regional markets.
The districts are located in areas with access to
county and state roads and highways where, because of the intensity
of land use, these uses can be better served by existing or planned
public utilities.
The restrictions set forth herein are designed to
ensure a wide range of economic activity, with appropriate design
standards, in conveniently located areas, to protect adjacent areas
and maintain safe traffic conditions.
Accessory buildings and structures shall be provided for all uses in accordance with the requirements of § 225-59 and the general requirements of Part 6.
Bulk regulations, including lot area, setback requirements
and height limitations, shall be provided for all uses in accordance
with general requirements of Part 7.
Purpose. The purpose of the C-3 Regional Commercial
District is to provide areas for regional retailing and service commercial
activities that require large sites, high visibility and access to
major regional highways.
The restrictions set forth herein are designed to
ensure a continuous prosperity in the economic development of the
community and to locate these districts where they will not be detrimental
to adjoining residential areas.
District standards and regulations are designed to
protect uses within the district and within adjacent or surrounding
districts, to minimize highway congestion and to ensure quality commercial
development abutting major highways.
General requirements. A development plan shall be
submitted to the Planning Commission for all proposed development
within the C-3 Regional Commercial District. The following supplemental
standards apply to all uses in the C-3 Regional Commercial District:
Accessory buildings and structures shall be provided for all uses in accordance with the requirements of § 225-59 and the general requirements of Part 6.
Bulk regulations, including lot area, setback requirements
and height limitations, shall be provided for all uses in accordance
with general requirements of Part 7.
The layout of the development site shall be such that
an overall street system may be designed within the development and
which will connect with streets or highways to the development in
such a way as to provide for the safe and efficient movement of traffic
to and within the development.
The layout shall be such that it will lend itself
to orderly series or stages of construction to ensure that access
and utilities can be provided at a minimum of public expense and effort.
