Limited Retail Commercial District

The LRC district is established to provide locations for specialized or limited low intensity shopping facilities which are on properties delineated within a neighborhood activity center, community activity center or regional activity center as defined and shown on the Cobb County Comprehensive Plan, A Policy Guide, adopted November 27, 1990. These convenience shopping facilities should have low intensity retail commercial uses that have a neighborhood-oriented market and which supply necessities that usually require purchasing with a minimum of consumer travel. Areas zoned for the LRC district are appropriately located at or adjacent to intersections as opposed to the edge of a neighborhood activity center. The LRC district may also be used to provide step down nodal zoning away from more intensive commercial uses within a community activity center or a regional activity center. The scope at which properties are developed within the LRC district should reflect their relatively small neighborhood service area. Additionally, properties developed within the LRC district should be architecturally compatible with other nonresidential uses permitted within a neighborhood activity center as defined by the comprehensive plan and the neighborhood residences they serve.
