Chapter 19.12 — COMMERCIAL ZONES (C-P, C-G, C-F)

19.12.010 - Purposes of commercial zones. ¶

C.

C-F Commercial-Freeway zone. The C-F zone provides locations along Interstate 210 for large, autooriented, and regional-serving retail commercial developments that benefit from the increased exposure and regional traffic afforded by a freeway-adjacent location, and where development standards can be tailored to attract and maintain such regionally oriented uses.
