The objectives in creating the C-1 commercial zone are to encourage the
commercial development of the city in an organized manner for the betterment of merchants and residents. This zone is meant to create a shopping district for the City, allowing business and shopping activities to be carried on with maximum convenience, to induce attractive, inviting and well maintained shops, stores, offices and similar uses with ample parking and attractive landscaping. The C-1 Commercial Zone is to be characterized by wide, clean, welllighted streets, and ample pedestrian ways for the convenience and safety of the public. Attractive, inviting, and well maintained shops, stores, offices, and other buildings are also characteristic of this zone. This zone will tend to encourage an architectural theme which will strengthen the continuity of the area and give it a "character" with which the citizens of Salem can identify. No use may be permitted in this zone except as is specifically provided in this chapter, or those allowed with a conditional use permit.
