The C-1, Central Business District, Zone is intended to provide for a variety of retail business uses and services and to preserve land for such uses. It is a unique pedestrian-oriented commercial district that is the major retail, office, entertainment, and arts center for the community. Complementary residential uses are encouraged.
The C-1A, Transitional Commercial, Zone is intended to be a transition zone between the C-1 and C-2 Zones and to provide an area for future expansion of the C-1 Zone.
The C-2, General Commercial and Business, Zone is intended to provide for the general commercial and business activity of the City and to preserve land for such uses. It is intended to complement the downtown and help meet the other community needs, as well as provide an area for large-scale shopping centers and other uses oriented to vehicle traffic.
The NC, Neighborhood Commercial, Zone provides for small-scale shopping areas that offer convenience goods and personal services for the daily needs of nearby neighborhoods. This zoning district is designed to reduce trips by providing convenient shopping. The allowed uses serve the neighborhood. Uses that tend to draw traffic into the neighborhood are not allowed.
