General Commercial District

This district is intended to provide for the majority of the existing retail and service needs of the City, excepting the downtown business districts, large-scale and bulk commercial uses, and uses which require outdoor display of material, merchandise or inventory.

The C1 District is structured to enable a wide range of retail and consumer services to be combined in either a neighborhood, community, or urban area. The district is not suitable for large-scale free standing commercial operations, wholesale, contracting sales nor the sale of bulk materials nor sale of goods requiring outside sales lots.
