The Community Business Center Zone is established to provide an area in which a general shopping center facility
can be established to satisfy the specialty shopping needs of a community or a group of neighborhoods. Each
community shopping center will range in area from five (5) to twenty (20) acres, depending upon the area served
and the range of specialty shops and services provided.
It is intended that the CBC zone will be characterized by specialty shops situated in an attractively designed
shopping center complex surrounded by appropriate landscaping.
The CBC zone will be located adjacent to major thoroughfares or collector streets which will provide immediate
access for automobile traffic without passing through residential areas. Uses permitted in the CBC zone will be
characterized by a junior department store and a supermarket as anchors, and by a wide range of restaurants,
specialty shops and hard goods or soft goods stores
