The commercial designation is intended to allow commercial development, to provide maximum opportunity and flexibility for a broad array of commercial, institutional, and business uses within walking distance to multiple land use opportunities. Toward this end, the following district is established:
General Commercial (C)
The General Commercial (C) district provides for retail centers that serve community-wide needs and neighborhood needs. The General Commercial district provides for commercial areas that include, but are not limited to, large retail uses such as “big box” stores, furniture stores, appliance and home electronics retailers; movie theaters; service commercial businesses; professional business offices; and restaurants. The district also provides for a wide range of smaller-scale business activities which serve the needs of residents who live nearby. Typical businesses include, but are not limited to, food and drug stores, child care, clothing stores, neighborhood-serving convenience stores, and professional and business offices. The regulations in this Chapter are aimed toward ensuring that development within the General Commercial zone is compatible with the surrounding area with respect to the type of use, scale, intensity of development, architectural character, and other impacts upon the community, and that the activities serve the needs of the adjoining residential neighborhoods.
