C. Commercial planned development: to promote development of business centers with adequate off-street parking, to control access points on thoroughfares, to separate pedestrian and automobile traffic, to develop centers of size and location compatible with the market potential, to buffer adjacent residential areas with landscaped open spaces and to encourage harmonious architecture between adjacent commercial structures and between homes and commercial structures.
D. Industrial planned development: to promote the establishment of industrial parks, to permit groups of industrial buildings with integrated design and a coordinated physical plan, to encourage recreational facilities within industrial areas, to buffer adjacent residential areas with landscaped open spaces, and to encourage pleasant architectural design for industrial facilities.
