General Commercial District

The C-3 general commercial district shall be applied to the broad range of retail uses which comprise the commercial function of the city including groupings of freestanding commercial structures. This section applies to such district. Permitted uses include most types of retail activity except those involving open displays of merchandise and those which generate large volumes of vehicular traffic or are otherwise incompatible with the purpose and intent of the C-3 general commercial district. Retail areas zoned C-3 general commercial shall be generally concentrated as to geographical configuration. It is anticipated, however, that in some situations, change to another commercial or office classification may be appropriate to permit the transition of strip retail areas to other productive forms of land use. It is the intent of these regulations that the C-3 district be concentrated at the intersection of arterial streets. Extension of this district along major arterial streets in linear fashion shall be discouraged. Outdoor display of merchandise is allowed under carefully controlled conditions.
