The CC District is established to provide for orderly development of commercial services in a unified setting on large parcels of land (generally over ten acres in size to serve residential neighborhoods within a three to five mile radius of the site). It is the intent of this district to encourage a concentration of commercial activities surrounding a node such as the intersection of two arterials with an overall design scheme, rather than strip commercial areas. The district is intended to provide a wide range of retail and service activities that serve many neighborhoods. Residential uses generally are not appropriate in the CC District. Development in the CC district should provide safe pedestrian access to adjacent residential areas.

The CC District is designed for use on sites at major intersections that are capable of handling the proposed traffic. The CC District should not be located where primary access is from any connector-level street.
