Neighborhood Commercial District

The NC neighborhood commercial district is established as a limited retail category intended for use near neighborhood areas for the purpose of supplying day-to-day retail needs of the residents in the area. The city will not zone for NC usage in advance unless asked to do so by the property owner. This district could, therefore, be considered a floating zone.; The NC district shall occur only at corner locations if both intersecting streets are minor arterials or larger as identified in the comprehensive land use plan.; Since the site is typically small, and surrounded by residential type land uses, this zoning would have the appearance of a spot zone. It is not an illegal spot zone, however, if it is called for in the comprehensive plan, or if it serves a need in the neighborhood.; While the NC district may gradually expand away from the intersection, it must begin at one of the four corner sites.; Care must be taken to ensure that adjacent residential uses are protected. Uses with excessive amounts of traffic, noise, or litter are not intended for this district. The area, landscaping, and buffering requirements are more restrictive in this district in order to protect adjacent uses.
