(A) The intent of this subchapter in establishing a highway/auto commerce district is to provide appropriate areas for commercial establishments which are oriented to the motoring public or which require large sites for off-street parking of display of merchandise. Additionally, the establishment of such district is in recognition of existing uses of this nature in decentralized locations, due in part to the past and present shortage of potential commercial sites within the downtown area.
(B) It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any building or premises within the city and within the area one and one-half miles beyond its corporate limits for any purpose other than as listed below.
