The HCB highway and community business district is intended to create, preserve and enhance areas with a wide range of retail sales and service establishments serving both long and short term needs in compact locations typically appropriate to commercial clusters near intersections of major thoroughfares. Uses in this district are typically automobile- and highway-oriented, and have higher traffic rates due to retail and shopping uses.
