2140 W Bemis Rd, Saline, MI 48176

General Commercial District

The General Commercial C-2 District is hereby established as a Business District to provide suitable locations for general retail, service and office establishments where public sewer and water services are available. Retail establishments in this district are of the comparison shopping type and tend to rely on a market area much larger than that of C-1 type establishments. However, C-1 uses are permitted in this district as complementary activities to the primary permitted uses. It is the intent of the C-2 District to encourage consolidations of the permitted business establishments, particularly as shopping centers. Consolidations other than shopping centers are also encouraged, all with the intent of avoiding strip commercial development, lessening of traffic congestion by reducing the number of commercial driveways opening onto major streets, and improving the safety and convenience of the people. Establishments permitted in this district will usually be located only on arterial streets. This district should be located as to not encroach on any residential or other area or cause undue traffic congestion.
