18.72.010 Intent.

This chapter is intended to prevent the adverse effects of large retail stores that include a significant amount of floor space for grocery sales, including but not limited to the following: negative impacts on vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian circulation patterns; an increase in noise, parking, light and glare resulting from intensification and concentration of such retail uses; conflict in adjacent land uses; economic effects on the residential and business community; and potential adverse effects on real property values resulting from diminished neighborhood and/or regional shopping centers. The regulations will also serve to promote the orderly planning, development and utilization of neighborhood and business premises. (Ord. 1843 § 2, 5-5-09).

Superstores, as defined in SCCC 18.06.010(s)(11), shall be prohibited in all zoning districts, including planned development districts, within the City of Santa Clara. (Ord. 1843 § 2, 5-5-09).
