The Commercial Services District, CS, is established to provide for business and commercial activities that are typically more intensive than consumer retail enterprises, often larger in scale, and often are designed to serve the region. Since generally they are not fully compatible with office or consumer retail uses, the permitted uses found in this district are combined in order to promote economic development and regional enterprise in a positive and sustainable manner for the City.
