Neighborhood Commercial Zone

The NC-1 Neighborhood Commercial Zone is established to provide areas within the City where limited commercial uses conducive to residential uses can be integrated into predominantly residential areas. The hours of operation, noise generated by business activities, emissions, parking, and lighting are all primary concerns in the zone. Rezoning to the NC-1 Zone should be carefully reviewed to ensure protection of the existing neighborhoods and residential uses. Some, but not necessarily all of the items that will be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council in the determination of a zone change include: Whether the proposed use would be more appropriate in another commercial zone or would serve to undermine the intention of other commercial zoning districts.; The impact the commercial use would have on the circulation pattern of the neighborhood.; The impact of the commercial use on the infrastructure in the general vicinity.; The use of the NC-1 Zone should not be granted simply to avoid compliance with any other development regulation or to simply appease a landowner who should be operating a commercial business in a more appropriate location.; The effect anticipated at the rezone stage is intended to the maximum impact the project will have on the neighborhood. Additional structures, subdivision of property and other development approvals will be strictly limited and only if it can be shown that the additional approval will serve to reduce impact on the neighborhood.; The configuration of the NC-1 Zone must complement the residential character of the neighborhood. In some instances, the zone will be very compact and located in the heart of residential development and in other locations the area may be larger along an arterial road.
