Monroe St, Clinton, MS 39056

General Commercial District

The purpose of this district is to promote the development of well planned shopping centers and independent commercial uses within carefully selected areas of the City of Clinton. The commercial activities permitted in this district include uses of a higher intensity than those first allowed in Restricted Commercial district C-1. Although shopping center uses permitted in this zone require access to an arterial street such uses are not highway oriented like those first allowed in the Major Thoroughfares Commercial District C-3. Uses first permitted in C-3 Major Thorough Commercial districts and C-4 Alternative Commercial districts are prohibited in the C-2 district.; It is the intent of this Ordinance that shopping centers and independent commercial uses be developed so that pedestrian and vehicular circulation is coordinated with the circulation patterns of adjacent properties in the vicinity that are also affected. In order to facilitate access between adjoining properties and to reduce the number of curb cuts onto arterial street the installation of a service drive shall be considered in connection with any independent commercial use i.e. a commercial use that is not a part of a shopping center proposed in this district.
