The CN District is established to provide for modest-scale commercial centers (as defined in Article 6) in close proximity to residential areas that offer limited commercial uses to satisfy the needs of the surrounding neighborhood. Compatibility is facilitated through design standards and buffering that provide for walkable, pedestrian-oriented development that complements nearby residential neighborhoods. The district is not intended for use by major or large-scale commercial sales, service or automotive-oriented activities. The CN District is only appropriate in locations that have direct access to residential neighborhoods.
