Zoninq District Differences As noted in the county's land development regulations, the IL zoning district is intended to accommodate employment centers as well as limited manufacturing and industrial activities. The CG zoning district, however, is oriented to less intense uses. According to county regulations, the CG district is programmed to accommodate general retail sales and selected service activities. The difference between the IL and CG zoning districts is best illustrated by the respective purpose statements of each of the two districts. These purpose statements are as follows: • IL, Light Industrial District, is intended to provide opportunities for limited manufacturing and industrial uses and to promote the establishment of employment centers which are accessible to urban services and facilities, the area labor force, and local industrial and business markets while minimizing the potential for any adverse impacts upon nearby properties. • CG, General Commercial District, is intended to provide areas for the development of general retail sales and selected service_ activities. The --CG district is not intended to provide for heavy commercial activities, such as commercial service uses, heavy repair services nor industrial uses. ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of: • concurrency of public facilities; • compatibility with the surrounding area; • consistency with the comprehensive plan; and • potential impact on environmental quality. 21 LJAN1993 9aaK 88 F,aGF 403
