Commercial General District

This is a mixed use designation applied to those areas considered appropriate for development with uses intended to provide commercial goods and services on a citywide basis, with the objective of encouraging consolidated commercial centers providing for the full spectrum of commercial uses. Appropriate locations are in, and adjacent to, activity centers where surrounding land uses support and are compatible with intensive commercial activity, and in locations near and with good access to major transportation facilities, including mass transit. Uses in this land use designation have the potential for moderate to heavy traffic generation, extended hours of operation, noise due to collection and delivery vehicles, large outdoor air conditioning units, odors emanating from solid waste containers, and loss of privacy for abutting residential developments. Outside storage and drive-through facilities heavy uses are allowed if approved as part of the site plan review process. All repairs or similar odor emanating activity shall be indoor and/or shall not be visible from the right-of-way. Additional considerations including, but not limited to, acreage limitations, as follows: institutional or transportation utility use shall not exceed a maximum area of five acres. Any such use, alone or when added to existing contiguous like use, which exceeds this threshold shall require a plan map amendment which shall include such use and all contiguous like uses.
