20-2 Commercial Zones

A. C-1 Commercial Zone (Downtown Core) 1. The C-1 zone has been established to distinguish the historic downtown commercial area of Kanab. This zone is characterized by a variety of types of goods and services that complement one another and is intended to facilitate a high density of economic activity in a walkable atmosphere. The C-1 Zone encourages a mix of storefront commercial retail, restaurants, hotels, mixed residential/commercial, and office space. B. C-2 Commercial Zone (Transition) 1. The objective of the commercial zone is to provide space within the city where nearly all types of commercial goods and services may be provided, such as retail, office, and mixed-use (work/live) spaces. Since the zone permits such a wide variety of uses, the protective features that zoning normally affords to adjacent properties are mostly nonexistent. Therefore, owners should develop and maintain their property in recognition thereof. 2. The C-2 commercial zone is located principally along major roadways for maximum visibility to the public. To maximize traffic safety, property owners should work together to provide access, parking, etc., to adjacent parcels, and access should be provided in a manner that will minimize the hazard of traffic leaving and entering major roadways. C. C-3 Commercial Zone 1. The principal objective in establishing the C-3 commercial zone is to provide space within the city where facilities that serve the local and traveling public can be most appropriately located for ease of ingress and egress. Other purposes for establishing the C-3 commercial zone are to promote safety on the highways and the convenience of traveling for locals and the public, to promote beauty in the appearance of roadsides and interchanges leading into and out of the city.
