Four commercial zoning districts are established to implement the commercial (C) land use designation of the general plan. Commercial zoning districts are as follows:
(1) Administrative office district (C-O). The CO district provides areas suitable for the location of offices for professional services - including medical and dental services - and for business activities which involve a relatively low volume of direct consumer contact.
(2) Neighborhood commercial (C-1) district. The C-1 district provides areas suitable for low-intensity retail and service commercial activities oriented to serving nearby residential areas. Typical uses include small pedestrian-oriented commercial activities that have minimal impact on adjacent uses through application of good site design, access and parking arrangements, landscaping, and lighting standards.
(3) General commercial (C-4) district. The C-4 district provides areas appropriate for a wide range of retail and service uses to meet the present and prospective needs of the community as a whole. Regulations are intended to prevent the impairment of safe and efficient movement of traffic and to encourage attractive development that is compatible with adjacent residential land uses.
(4) Freeway commercial (C-F) district. The C-F district provides areas appropriate for intense regional-serving commercial and business uses abutting freeways.
