The district names and map symbols are intended to provide a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting the commercial orientation of the district.
A. 
Limited Commercial (LC). The purpose of the LC District is to provide suitable areas for various low-volume commercial, institutional and industrial uses and to support the goals and objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The LC District is established to accommodate nonresidential uses that do not impede or create excessive conflicts with the traffic flow on the existing street network. This district is appropriate in areas where the existing land uses, traffic patterns and other factors make it desirable to maintain or foster commercial activity, which generates less daily vehicular traffic than the General Commercial District.
B. 
Lakeshore Neighborhood Commercial (LNC). The purpose of the LNC District is to encourage smaller-scaled commercial development, compatible with the scale and intensity of adjacent residential and noncommercial sites, and to support the goals and objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan. This district allows for limited commercial operations offering convenience shopping and services primarily for lakeshore residents.
C. 
General Commercial (GC). The purpose of the GC District is to encourage commercial development, and to support the goals and objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The GC District is established to provide areas that are appropriate for intensive commercial activities that depend upon a large volume of motor vehicle traffic and serve the daily shopping needs of the community-at-large and surrounding areas. This district encourages the application of site design and buffering techniques to mitigate the impacts of commercial operations and traffic on adjacent uses and the traveling public.
