The C-2 general commercial district is composed of certain lands and structures used
to provide for the retailing of commodities and the furnishing of several major services,
selected trade shops and automotive repairs. This district will be encouraged at locations
along minor arterial and major arterial roads where general commercial uses would
be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Characteristically, this district
occupies an area larger than that of the retail commercial district, serves a considerably
greater population, and offers a wider range of services. This district will be promoted
within the urban service area or in rural settlements where uses of this intensity
are already established. The general commercial district should not be located adjacent
to single-family residential zoning districts.
