§ 70-441. Purpose.

The purpose of the commercial district is to:

(1)

Encourage the location of commercial and industrial uses on those lands within the town which are best suited for such development.

(2)

Provide minimum controls on those uses which, by virtue of their size or external effects (waste discharge, noise, glare, fumes, smoke, dust, odors, or auto, truck, or rail traffic) could otherwise create a public nuisance or endanger public health and safety.

(3)

Avoid the blight, congestion and inconvenience caused by inappropriate and poorly located development of commercial and industrial facilities.

(4)

Avoid the economic disadvantages of providing essential services to commercial and industrial strip development along highways or major thoroughfares.
