A. 
The C1 - Neighborhood Shopping District is designed to encourage the construction of new shopping facilities and continued use of land for neighborhood commercial service purposes, to limit residential, prohibit heavy commercial and industrial use of land, to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with the development or continuation of the commercial uses and structures in the district and to discourage any use which, because of its character and size, would interfere with the use of land in the district as a shopping and service center for the surrounding residence districts.
B. 
This district classification is intended to be applied to areas largely surrounded by residential classification. Because the locations of the C1 Districts and the arrangement of the uses within them are expected to have a close relationship to the overall plan and the objective of protection to residential districts, it is deemed that the exercise of planning judgment on location and site plan is essential.
A. 
In this district, the land and structures may be used, and structures may be erected, altered, enlarged and maintained, for limited commercial uses listed hereunder (including in each instance unit group buildings). Each enterprise shall:
(1) 
Be conducted entirely within an enclosed building unless otherwise specifically stated.
(2) 
Be not objectionable because of odor, smoke, dust, noise, vibration, glaring light or similar causes.
(3) 
Not exceed a floor area of 13,000 square feet.
(4) 
Assure safety and convenience of traffic movement, both within the site covered and in relation to access streets, and a harmonious and beneficial relationship of structures and uses on the site as well as contiguous properties.
