A. 
The C2 Community Business District is intended as being a district for the location of businesses with a market area larger than that of the immediately adjacent neighborhood, and which is characterized by heavy vehicular access and parking requirements, and in some instances by large building area requirements. Low-density residential and industrial use of the land is prohibited, as well as any other use which would substantially interfere with the continuation or development of the commercial structures and uses in the district.
