uses that are protected from other commercial activities. These districts

land use separating residential zones with different permitted densities.
Lastly, this zone accommodates various medical and care facilities
by conditional use, thereby acknowledging a trend toward such uses
which are evolving along Kenneth Road. Unless otherwise noted, this
zone shall be considered a commercial zone.
