A.
C-1 Commercial District. The C-1 Commercial District is intended
to promote development of storefront space, and provide a mix of retail,
personal service and office uses, primarily along the commercial corridors
within the Township. As the district is typically in close proximity
to residential neighborhoods, and provides goods and services to residents
of the Township, the district standards encourage a traditional commercial
character, distinguished by a pedestrian-friendly orientation and
storefronts opening onto the public sidewalk, and serve as a buffer
between residential development and major or secondary highways, or
between residential development and nonresidential uses.
B.
C-2 Commercial District. The C-2 Commercial District is intended
to provide for the needs of a wide range of larger highway-oriented
business establishments located along major corridors within the Township.
The district also includes modern, well-planned, integrated shopping
center developments. The district encourages the establishment of
commercial service districts that serve the residents of the Township
as well as surrounding areas.
A.
Only those uses listed in Table 61.1: Commercial District Uses as
permitted, special exception, or conditional uses are allowed within
the commercial districts. A "P" indicates that a use is permitted
within that zoning district. An "SE" indicates that a use is a special
exception use in that zoning district and must obtain a special exception
approval. A "C" indicates that a use is a conditional use in that
zoning district and must obtain a conditional use approval. No letter
(i.e., a blank space) or the absence of the use from the table indicates
that use is not allowed within that zoning district.
B.
The following footnote applies to the table: Footnote 1: In the C-2
District, townhouse (single-family attached), duplex (two-family attached),
and multifamily use on the ground floor of the apartment building.
Dwellings are only permitted as part of an approved development plan
that provides a permitted retail commercial use as the primary use
in the ground floor along the road frontage of the development tract.
