19.215.010 - Purpose.

The Neighborhood Commercial Overlay Zone (NC) is established to: A. Provide nearby neighborhoods with commercial centers that encourage and allow residents to safely walk to a neighborhood center and promotes social interaction through the types of uses allowed. For instance, sit down restaurants are encouraged, while drive thru fast food restaurants are prohibited. B. Provide supplemental project review, limitations on uses, and additional development standards to address potential incompatibilities and adverse effects of commercial development that is adjacent or in proximity to residential neighborhoods.
