The CS-LG district is intended primarily for establishments engaged in servicing equipment, materials and products, but which do not require the manufacturing, assembly, packaging or processing of articles or merchandise for distribution and retail sale. Land requirements for most service commercial uses generally dictate their application along arterial and collector streets of the city which generally lie close to central commercial, highway commercial and industrial districts, in accordance with the general plan.
