2-5   NON-RESIDENTIAL ZONE DISTRICTS
2-5(A)   NON-RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL ZONE DISTRICT (NR-C)
2-5(A)(1)   Purpose
The purpose of the NR-C zone district is to accommodate medium-scale retail, office, commercial, and institutional uses, particularly where additional residential development is not appropriate or not desired because of a deficit of jobs or services in relation to housing units in the area. Primary land uses include a wide spectrum of retail and commercial uses intended to serve both neighborhood and area-wide needs, as well as some light industrial uses. Allowable uses are shown in Table 4-2-1.
