§ 1282.01 PURPOSE.
   The purpose of C-4 Districts is to provide for uses in addition to those specified for C-3 Districts and thereby provide service and sales in support of the primary business activities in the community. C-4 Districts include activities which, because of their tendency to encourage traffic congestion and parking or storage problems or certain other inherent dangers, create special problems and are, therefore, best distinguished from other commercial activity. The location of C-4 Districts is advantageous at specified points on major thoroughfares at outlying locations in the community.
(Ord. 74-O-128, passed 10-17-1974)
