The Local Commercial District, General Commercial District, and Highway Service Commercial District are designed to limit compatible commercial enterprises at appropriate locations to encourage efficient traffic movement, parking, and utility services, advance public safety, and protect surrounding property. The commercial districts are designed to regulate the locations of these business uses according to a well-considered plan which determined the types of such uses and the intensity of land, street, and highway use in each such district, potential nuisances and hazards which may cause unsafe conditions, and the relationship of commercial uses to each other and to other areas devoted to agricultural, residential, or industrial use and to streets and highways. The purpose of each commercial district is further stated below.
