Appendix 9321. CS purpose.

The CS district is intended for planned shopping centers where the land and compatible retail stores and associated facilities are designed and developed together as an integrated unit using modern site planning techniques. The primary tenant will usually be a supermarket or larger retail tenant, and the center will serve only the convenience needs, such as food, drugs, hardware, and personal services, of the surrounding area. The centers shall exhibit a high level of architectural and site design quality, providing a positive experience for visitors and community residents, and fostering business activity. Such centers are required to fit into the residential pattern of development and not create either architectural or traffic conflicts. Development, remodel and renovation of such centers shall integrate and promote pedestrian activity with pathway connections between center business areas and parking areas, and to adjoining neighborhoods and districts, as well as incorporate pedestrian amenities like seating areas and outdoor gathering spaces to accommodate pedestrians, outdoor dining and other activities. The pathways shall be clearly articulated with enhanced paving and other design features, landscaping, and wayfinding signage.
