The C-2 District accommodates a variety of commercial uses, some of which have significant traffic or visual effects. These districts may include commercial uses that are oriented to services, including automotive services, rather than retail activities. These uses may create land use conflicts with adjacent residential areas, requiring provision of adequate buffering. This district is most appropriately located along major arterial streets, along major highway corridors characterized by large-scale uses and traveler services such as Highway 15 south of Seward, or in areas that can be adequately buffered from residential districts. The district permits residential uses by conditional use permit, requiring such uses to be reviewed for compatibility with primary commercial uses in busy corridors.
