The RNC rural neighborhood commercial zoning district is intended to be applied in areas where public sewer and water service is not available. The rural neighborhood commercial zoning district is established for the purpose of providing for limited retail and personal service uses for the consumer population in the immediate neighborhoods in which such uses are located and limited opportunities to support the tourist industry. This district is not intended for those types of uses that will attract either the consumer population of large segments of the community or large volumes of traffic. It is intended to be compactly designed. Neighborhood commercial development in contiguous locations is encouraged to avoid uninterrupted linear commercial development, lessen traffic conflicts, and improve the safety and convenience of customers. Such consolidation may also economically provide for the appropriate screening and/or landscaping buffers needed to protect property values in adjacent residential areas. [Ord. 92-13 §3, 1992. Formerly §17.22.010].
