                                                                    SECTION  29

 

                                         CONVENIENCE COMMERCIAL (CC) ZONE

 

 

29.1         GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE CC ZONE

 

This Zone provides for and regulates a limited range of commercial uses which services the day-to-day convenience needs of the immediate neighbourhood.  Uses permitted in the CC Zone are differentiated through the use of zone variations on the basis of their function, intensity and potential impacts.

                                                                              

The main CC Zone variation permits a restricted range of low impact uses which are considered to be appropriate for all Convenience Commercial Zone variations.  An expanded range of uses is permitted in the other zone variations.  Application of zone variations will be dependent on compatibility with the surrounding area and shall not detract from neighbouring residential uses.
