The provisions that regulate this land use district should not overly restrict normal business practices. This district can be used adjacent to all other commercial districts and the “R4” and “R5” Residential Districts.
(2) The town’s Plan Commission and Board of Zoning appeals should strive to use this district with the “C1” District to encourage a strong and stable area for commerce.
(3) The Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals should not encourage “strip development”, rather development in clusters which share resources and minimize the cost of public utilities and services.
