11.45.010 Purpose.
The purpose of the general commercial (C-2) zone is to provide for a broader type of commercial uses than those permitted in the central business zone. This zone is more auto-related than the central business zone, requires fewer public services and provides fewer pedestrian amenities. It is accessed by arterial streets, and is characterized by moderate intensity commercial developments requiring more land, ample parking lots, convenient vehicular access, landscaping, and larger lots. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.081, 2001).
11.45.020 Uses.
Table 11.15.020 describes uses which are permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited in the C-2 zone. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.02.082, 2001).
