ZONING DESIGNATIONS FOUND IN HARBOUR HEIGHTS
Each of the listed zoning categories are part of the Charlotte County Code : Section 3-9 : Zoning Regulations. The “intent” portion for each zoning designation currently found in Harbour Heights is listed herein.
Commercial General - view code
The Commercial General (CG) district is intended to provide areas in which the customary and traditional conduct of trade, retail sales and commerce may be carried on without disruption by the encroachment and intrusion of incompatible residential uses and protected from the adverse effect of undesirable industrial uses.
Commercial Intensive - view code
The purpose and intent of the Commercial Intensive (CI) district is to permit the designation of suitable locations for and to facilitate the proper development and use of land for those commercial activities which are like or which have many of the same needs as industrial land use. Such uses often rely on large ground areas for storage or display of goods, are relatively insensitive to the impact of adjacent lands use, while generating substantial impacts on their neighbors. Commercial intensive land uses are generally services, particularly warehousing, distribution and compatible business oriented to the sale and service of automobiles and boats. The CI district is and is intended to be intermediate between consumer oriented commercial and light industrial uses.
