§ 16-5-110. C-3 - Highway Commercial District.
(a)
Intent.
(1)
The Highway Commercial Use District is intended to be a setting for development of a wide range of community and regional retail uses, offices and personal and business services, and it is intended to accommodate a wide range of other uses, including multi-family housing and mixed-use dwelling units. The C-3 District should integrate various commercial and multi-family uses while transitioning from the highway to adjacent lower density neighborhoods.
(2)
While some Highway Commercial District areas may continue to meet the need for auto-related and other auto-oriented uses, it is the Town's intent that the C-3 District emphasize safe and convenient personal mobility in many forms, with planning and design that accommodate pedestrians. Further, the C-3 District is intended to function with, rather than compete with, the Downtown District.
(3)
The highway corridor is a visible commercial area of the community. Attention to the architectural standards outlined in Section 16-3-460 is required for approval.
