The CO-SL zoning district provides a range of large and small scale commercial development opportunities for the location of professional and commercial offices; retail; financial; governmental; professional, business services and entertainment activities; clean light industrial uses; and other uses to serve the local and regional community. Land requirements for most commercial office uses generally dictate their application along main roads of the city which generally have convenient access and/or high visibility.
