Commercial Intensive District

The CI District provides for high intensity commercial development and automotive-oriented uses that require highly visible and highly accessible locations with direct access to arterial streets. Typical uses in this district serve regional needs. Such activities generally require large land areas, do not cater directly to pedestrians, and require ample off-street parking and loading space. The permitted uses are generally uses not of a neighborhood or general commercial type, but serve large sections of the County. This district allows residential use, including upper story residential dwelling units, in order to promote live-work and mixed use opportunities; The CI District is generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas of the County shown as Regional or Community Commercial Center, or Commercial Corridor on the Future Land Use Map.3.When rezoning to the CI District the applicant for rezoning may request that the Development Concept Plan submitted with the Rezoning application be binding.
