CO Commercial Outdoor Storage District.

[Added 6-17-1993[1]]The intent in providing this district is to confine automotive uses, outdoor recreational uses and other uses with outdoor storage to areas where they are currently located and will not impact negatively on adjacent uses. While such uses are similar in scale to other medium- and high-intensity commercial uses, their impact on surrounding uses requires special review to determine the appropriateness of their location. Such uses are required to provide appropriate screening, setbacks, landscaped open space and parking. Commercial-with-outdoor-storage uses should not be allowed in other land use areas.

The following shall apply in the CO District:A. Permitted uses shall include and be illustrated as follows:(1) New or used motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, trailer, boat, farm implement and contractors' equipment sales, service, repair or rental.(2) Motor vehicle service station, with or without incidental gasoline sales. (See § 350-70 ).(3) Motor vehicle parts and accessories sales.(4) Car wash.(5) Truck garden, nursery and florist.(6) Communications towers.[Added 12-21-1996 by L.L.
