(a) Purpose. It is the purpose of the Freeway Commercial Zoning Districts to provide areas near freeway corridors and interchanges for medium to large-scale development oriented to the wider community and region. Freeway Commercial District provisions are intended to:
(1) Accommodate market demand for regionally and community oriented land uses;
(2) Provide space for commercial uses that may be incompatible with residential uses or other less intensive types of land uses;
(3) Maximize tax base opportunities for the community;
(4) Accommodate development intensities that can support high quality, frequent transit service;
(5) Provide a buffer between freeways and low density residential areas;
(6) Avoid the underutilization of land along the freeway corridor; and
(7) Encourage a citywide balance of land use types.
