A. Purpose. It is the intent that the CC-Community Commercial District (and portions of the associated overlay zones CCOD 1 and CCOD 2) shall be developed and reserved for commercial business and office use for the benefit of Sullivan’s Island residents, and to encourage well-regulated residential land use. The regulations that apply within the district are designed to encourage the formation and continuance of a compatible and economically healthy environment for commercial and professional office uses that benefit from being located in close proximity to one another. It is also the intent to provide opportunities for residential uses to be developed at appropriate locations within the CC-District and CCOD 1 and 2 Overlay Districts under circumstances which will assure compatibility of neighboring commercial and residential activities.
