17.28.010 Intent.

The CBD (central business district) area is served by a full range of utilities and services and is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for retail and parking, personal and business services of all kinds, satisfying the needs of residents of the entire community in one central location. The zone is intended to permit convenient expansion of permitted uses and to provide the proper amount of light and space needed for streets and more exposure of buildings. The CBD area should protect businesses within the zoning district from over-congestion, and should prohibit exclusive residential and industrial uses or any other uses which would substantially interfere with the development and continuation of a cohesive central business district.
