Article 18. General Provisions. Conditions and Exceptions. Yards.
'HeiRht. Area. Open Space and Bulk.
Notwithstanding ~he requirements of any district, the following
performance and development standards shall apply to the establishment,
maintenance and operation of automobil. service stations in the C-2 and
C-3 Zones. I
(A) Purpose and Intent
I'
,<
The Automobile Service Station Standards are established to allow
the construction, operation and maintenance of service stations so
as to be compatible with other permitted uses in the zone. It is
recognized that service stations warrant special consideration
because of several important elements of design and operation that
are unique and significant such as: total dependence on vehicular
traffic, distinctive physical appearance, unenclosed nature of
activities, and long hours of operation. The standards are intended
to liberalize some of the zone re~~irement8 that might otherwise
create a hardship on service station operation, and to minimize any
adverse effect on neighboring use by the application of standards
for s~gns, landscaping, screening and the location and nature of
operating activities.
<
"
,'. ~

engaged in the sale of motor fuel and in supplying goods and
services generally required in th operation and maintenance of

batteries, automotive~accessoriesland replacement items; washing
