HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT (C-3)

§ 154.151 PURPOSE.

   This district is established to recognize the need for commercial establishments, preferably in clusters, in close proximity to major thoroughfares. The purpose of the district is to provide appropriate locations for a broad range of commercial activities which are primarily oriented to highway uses rather than the central business district and which are designed to serve local and regional customers, vehicular and non-vehicular traffic. With a highly visible viewshed, these areas should be designed to enhance the aesthetics, control traffic movement, and include sufficient landscaping to minimize the impact typically associated with highway commercial development.
