The purpose of the “C-2” Local and Through Highway
Business District is to provide a common location which caters mainly
to through traffic which requires conveniently grouped rest and refreshment
auto maintenance and lodging stops. It is the intent to group these
businesses not only for convenience purposes but because highway businesses
are inclined to be brightly lighted. It is further intended to provide
an area along highways and major traffic thoroughfares which has lots
large enough to meet the needs of drive-ins and other highway uses
that require large lots with low building coverage, in order to lessen
the friction with surrounding uses and to obtain better business advertising
through groupings. Permitted uses in the “C-2” Local and
Through Highway Business District shall not be noxious or offensive
by reason of the emission of odor, dust, smoke, gas, vibration, noise
or other similar causes beyond the property line which contains the
use.
