The Highway Commercial Zone must be located on major streets and highways.

No highway commercial zoning application shall be granted on any parcel of land or parcels of land held in single or joint ownership of five acres or more, unless the petition is submitted in accordance with planned development procedures as provided in Article XX of this chapter. It should be noted that apartments and other residential uses other than motels, hotels and similar transient facilities shall be excluded from this VB-3 Zone.
