guided areas. Many of these areas are guided for other uses, because of access,visibility, and neighborhood constraints. The majority of C-3 zoning districts fall into either the Highway Business or the recently adopted FAST land use categories. Zoning Zoning is the method to implement community plans. Though truck and implement sales is undefined in our ordinances,it is listed in various iterations as a conditional use in the Industrial Zoning Districts. Truck and Implement Sales is a Conditional Use in the I-1 (Light Industrial) and I-2 (Medium Industrial) zoning districts. Bus, truck, and implement storage and service is allowed as a Conditional Use in the I-2 and I-3 (General Industrial) zoning districts. Automotive-related uses are regulated in a variety of ways, based on their traffic, building design, storage needs,noise,lighting, and fume impacts. Generally, the space and building design needs of these uses are inconsistent with the C-3 zoning district. Further,these businesses are more destination based, and are not the highest and best use of limited highway frontage. These uses are more specialized and there can be lost opportunity for other more direct to consumer uses. Truck, bus, and implement sales/storage inherently require larger amounts of open display/storage space than commercial businesses need. With the addition of service type functions,there is an increased need for storage areas,presumably outside, for trucks in need of repair. The structures that accommodate these uses require large areas of overhead doors which are not a desired architectural feature in commercial districts or near residential districts. Site lighting for sales and security can have detrimental effects on residential neighborhoods. This, along with other impacts such as traffic,noise, access, fumes and outside storage,is why several areas in the FAST are being recommended to be zoned to residential uses so they are compatible with the existing surrounding uses.
