for an addltlonal commercial zoning d~~trlct to be available City-wide. Presently thy, City has. a

Therefore the Staffand P&ZSub-Committee develo ed details for another commercial Zoning

district referred to as C-B :Business Commercial. Its ur ose is s eaficah intended as an

alternative tothe C-1 General Commercial district for areas where certain commercial uses may
be acce table but where more intense uses would not be com atible with existin coning and
p ~ g
t- ~ land uses. The district re wires that business be conducted wholl within an enclosed building
q y
and that certain uses (convenience store and as stations) be rohibted. The range o~E permitted
g p

The Committee examined the tracts that had been :Zoned C-1 since 1985 and determined that
~~f
`these tracts hould be rezoned to the, new C-B. district. All other C-1 tracts in the study area
