The CC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate to serve the daily shopping needs of the community, including destination centers, supermarkets, and smaller, single-lot, commercial activities. Financial, office and restaurant activities are also allowed. Appropriate buffering between adjacent residential designations is required. Community centers are generally ten (10) to thirty (30) acres in size. The CC zoning district is consistent with the commercial land use designation of the general plan;
