Commercial-Manufacturing Zone

The purpose of the classification C-M and its application is to provide for the location of and grouping of enterprises which may conduct on-premises retail services, but which involve a greater amount of fabrication, assembling and service features, including manufacturing and processing, than do uses locating in a more restrictive zone. The uses first permitted in this classification, if allowed in strictly on-premises retail and service areas, would introduce factors of heavy trucking and handling of materials that would destroy the maximum service and attraction of such strictly retail areas. The uses first permitted in this classification are considered as having common or similar performance standards in that: They involve a degree of noise, outside activities and accessory storage greater than are involved in uses first permitted in the strictly commercial zones, but such factors are measurably lighter than are involved in uses first permitted in the industrial zones; They do not attract, nor do they depend upon individual patron contact to the same degree as do uses in strictly retail and service areas but, rather, represent in part, enterprises whose services are rendered or product sold on a more community-wide basi; They can more advantageously utilize the standard lot and street pattern than can strictly industrial uses; and They are more space consuming and involve greater handling of materials and heavy trucking than do those uses permitted in the strictly retail areas but less than do strictly industrial uses.
