§ 154.033 COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS STANDARDS AND USES.

Among other purposes, this district may serve as a transitional zone between residential and commercial or industrial districts and between major thoroughfares and residential districts.

      (2)   C-2 Local Business District. The Local Business District is intended to provide for the development of convenience business uses meeting the daily needs of residents living in adjacent residential neighborhoods. This district should be strategically located with access to a minor arterial or collector street.

      (3)   C-3 General Business District. The General Business District accommodates general retail and/or autodependent businesses.
