Provide opportunities for alcoholic beverage retail sales to be conducted in a mutually beneficial relationship to each other and to other commercial and civic services;

C.

Ensure that there is no degradation of the deemed approved activities;

D.

Prevent such prohibited activities and activities contrary to deemed approved activities from becoming public nuisances; and
