Corridor 80 - General Commercial Subdistrict

The purpose of this subdistrict is to provide for the preservation and perpetuation of retail and commercial enterprise to provide areas for the development of retail type and personal service type commercial community and regional shopping centers of integrated design and high density development of commercial businesses in certain areas adjacent to U. S. Highway 80. It is also the purpose of this subdistrict to provide relatively spacious areas for the development of vehicle-oriented commercial activities that typically require direct auto traffic access and visibility from major thoroughfares. This subdistrict is intended to allow those commercial activities that function relatively independent of intensive pedestrian traffic. Finally it is also the intent of this Ordinance that shopping centers and independent commercial uses be developed so that 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 streets 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.
