Chapter 9. R-LC RESIDENTIAL-LIMITED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS |
§ 16-09.002. Statement of intent.
The intent of this chapter, in establishing the R-LC Residential-Limited Commercial District, is as follows:
(1)
To provide for the transition of areas from residential to office and limited commercial retail services which do not generate large volumes of traffic, noise, or other harmful effects, and which are compatible with residential uses.
(2)
To provide, in areas so indicated on the comprehensive development plan, for development of structures along major thoroughfares, especially between more intensely developed and higher traffic generating districts and residential districts, in order to permit a reasonable use along such thoroughfares without the inherent ill effect of strip commercial development.
(3)
To encourage conservation and preservation of structurally sound residences in these neighborhoods.
