SEC. 15.6-15 C-2 NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING DISTRICT.

Intent. The intent of this C-2 Neighborhood Shopping District is to provide establishments, including retail stores and personal service facilities, which serve the frequently recurring needs of a surrounding residential neighborhood. While intended to provide for convenience shopping, certain business types that might tend to be a nuisance to surrounding residential development are excluded. To these ends, the C-2 regulations are designed to further protect adjacent property by: (1) applying specific size standards to permitted uses, and (2) establishing bulk and placement requirements that are comparable to residential district standards. Neighborhood shopping centers should be located at the intersection of two major streets or at the intersection of a major and a collector and designed to serve approximately one square mile of residential development; a neighborhood shopping center is ordinarily built around a supermarket as the principal tenant. The minimum area to be zoned C-2 (1.5 acres) is sufficient in size to prevent spot zoning and still meet the anticipated needs for convenience shopping. The maximum area to be zoned C-2 (7 acres) is intended to prevent the development of a shopping center that serves an area much larger than a neighborhood.
Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the C-2 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
1. A C-2 District at any one location shall not be less than one and one-half (1.5) acres or more than seven (7) acres in size.
2. The relationship of the subject property to the various aspects of the Town’s transportation system, including major and collector streets, pedestrian ways, and bicycle paths and the impact the permitted uses would have upon this system.
3. The extent to which surrounding zoning and land usage provides a transition from this more intense use to lower density residential development.
4. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
5. The availability of other convenience shopping and service facilities in the anticipated service area and the extent to which the uses authorized in the district fulfill unmet needs for convenience shopping.
6. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the existing or permitted uses in the vicinity and the effect these uses would have upon the uses authorized in the district.
7. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
8. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
9. The conformance of the proposal to the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.

SEC. 15.6-16 C-3 COMMUNITY/REGIONAL SHOPPING DISTRICT.

Intent. The intent of this C-3 Community/Regional Shopping District is to facilitate the development of community and region serving retail trade centers. The development contemplated in this district has such distinguishing characteristics as: (1) unified site planning and development which promotes a safe and conducive atmosphere for large volumes of shoppers, (2) site accessibility such that the high volumes of traffic generated create a minimal congestion and adverse impact upon surrounding land use, (3) unified architectural treatment of buildings rather than an assemblage of separate, conflicting store and structural types, and (4) a trade area that includes the entire community at a minimum and may include the entire county and surrounding areas outside the county. While recognizing the potential monetary benefits accruing from the development of a large shopping center within the Town and the flexibility necessary for such a development, these regulations are intended to insure that a proper location be selected and site planning be performed to better accomplish the purposes of zoning.
Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the C-3 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and the Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration.
1. A C-3 District at any one location shall not be less than ten (10) acres in size.
2. The relationship of the subject property to the Town’s transportation system and the impact the permitted uses would have upon this system. The volumes of traffic generated by development in this district necessitates its location near or adjacent to the intersection of two major streets or a collector street and a major street.
3. The compatibility of uses authorized in the district with existing or permitted uses in the area and the impact the permitted uses would have upon such uses.
4. The extent of which surrounding zoning and land usage provides adequate transition from this intense use to uses of lesser intensity.
5. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
6. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
7. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
8. The conformance of the proposal to the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.

SEC. 15.6-17 B-1 GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

Intent. The intent of the General Business District is to provide for certain types of commercial activities that have a functional relationship to the major street system, and in some instances, an economic relationship to the central business district or to commercial and regional shopping areas. Such activities will include retail, service, amusement establishments and wholesale suppliers. Customers in this district will generally use an automobile or a form of public transit to reach a desired establishment. Since there is little essential interdependence of activities, each establishment must accommodate customers within its own parking area. The automobile and truck traffic this district generates and the adverse effects from this traffic combine to make these business areas incompatible with residential development; this district should only be used along the fringe of a neighborhood and not within it. The avoidance of undue traffic congestion, the promotion of safe traffic flow, and the protection of surrounding properties from adverse impacts are major considerations in the application of the district.
Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the B-1 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration:
1. The relationship of the subject property to the Town’s transportation system and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these systems; traffic congestion and safety are of primary concern.
2. The potential impact the uses authorized in the district would have upon any existing or permitted uses in the surrounding area.
3. The extent to which the permitted uses contribute to an undesirable pattern of strip commercial development; including the resultant numerous curb cuts and piecemeal development on small lots.
4. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which lawfully occur on the property to zoned.
5. The adequacy of public service, including police and fire protection, serving the property and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
6. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
7. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
8. The conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.
Permitted Uses. In the B-1 General Business District, no building or land may be used except for one or more of the following specified uses, unless otherwise provided in this Code:

SEC. 15.6-18 B-2 CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

Intent. The intent of this B-2 Central Business District is to provide for a variety of retail stores and shops, offices and services in the central business area of the Town. This area has historically served the major retail marketing function of the community and at the time of adoption of this Code displays the highest concentration of commercial development. In this district each establishment contributes to the whole shopping area by adding to the variety of goods available and to comparison shopping opportunities. This essential inter-dependence of activities is given precedence over any desire to require automobile parking spaces adjacent to each building although provisions are made for the cooperative development of off-street parking facilities by public and private interests.
Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property in the B-2 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposal under consideration:
1. The relationship of the subject property to the Town’s transportation systems and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these systems. Potential conflicts between pedestrians and motorized traffic are of major concern.
2. The extent to which surrounding zoning and land usage provides adequate transition from this intense business use to uses of lesser intensity.
3. The potential impact the uses authorized in the district would have upon any existing or permitted uses, especially residential, in the surrounding area.
4. The extent to which the subject property is a logical extension of the central business area.
5. The capacity of existing and proposed community facilities and utilities, including water and sewer systems, to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
6. The adequacy of public services including police and fire protection, serving the property and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
7. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
8. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment, including noise, air, and water pollution.
9. The conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan and Official Map.

SEC. 15.6-19 M-1 RESTRICTED MANUFACTURING DISTRICT.

Intent. The intent of this M-1 Restricted Manufacturing District is to provide for industrial uses with an absence of objectionable external effects in areas that are suitable for this type of development by reason of topography, relative location, and adequate utility and transportation systems. Compatibility with surrounding districts is further assured by limiting development by reason of topography, relative location, and adequate utility and transportation systems. Compatibility with surrounding districts is further assured by limiting development to low industrial densities. Just as industrial uses are excluded from residential areas to promote public health, safety and welfare, so are residential developments excluded from this district.
Zoning Map Amendment Guidelines. In making its legislative determination to zone or rezone property to the M-1 zoning classification, the Planning Commission and Town Council may apply the following guidelines to the proposed under consideration:
1. The relationship of the subject property to various aspects of the transportation system, including rail, air, highway and street, and pedestrian, and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these systems. Truck traffic and its impact is of major concern generally, as well as the affect on vehicular travel times.
2. The extent to which surrounding zoning and land usage provide an adequate transition from these industrial uses to uses of lesser intensity and the degree to which the uses authorized in the district serve as a buffer between other districts which exhibit more objectionable effects and uses of lower intensity.
3. The capacity of existing and proposed public utilities to the site, including water and sewer systems to serve the permitted uses which might lawfully occur on the property so zoned.
4. The adequacy of public services, including police and fire protection, serving the property in question and the impact the permitted uses would have upon these services.
5. The impact the permitted uses would have upon the environment including noise, air, and water pollution.
6. The impact any natural disasters, including flooding, would have upon the permitted uses.
7. The conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan and the Official Map.
Permitted Uses. In the M-1 Restricted Manufacturing District, no building or land shall be used except for one or more of the following specified uses unless otherwise provided in this Code.
