(A) Purposes: The purpose of this zone is to:
1. Provide for small convenience oriented commercial centers to satisfy limited shopping and service needs to the neighborhood in which it is located. The intent of this designation is to provide an expanded version of what has been historically known as the corner store. It is intended that this classification will not be introduced into already developed neighborhoods, but will be limited to newly developing neighborhoods around the perimeter of the city and its periphery. As these new neighborhoods develop, they will be farther from the center of the city, and thus it is deemed desirable to include well defined and designed convenience commercial centers in such areas. Architecturally, development in this designation must be compatible with the neighborhood in which it is located, and be carefully regulated as to landscaping, signage, glare, noise, parking and hours of operation.
2. Create conditions conducive to a convenient and desirable environment for customers and employees.
3. Differentiate convenience commercial uses from those of the downtown business district, highway commercial areas, and other light commercial areas.
4. Create conditions to promote pedestrian, bicycle, and handicap usage.
