The Automotive Center Commercial (CA) zone is established to provide an area which will promote congruous and integrated mixture of new car dealerships, automotive accessory shops, incidental automotive repair facilities, and institutional and commercial establishments to support the primary automotive uses. This zone is to be established in areas which will maintain an atmosphere conducive to new car sales and in areas which will not create adverse conditions for adjacent residential, commercial, or institutional uses. The CA zone should be located in those areas which are adjacent to major arterial streets and which have convenient access and visibility from said arterial streets. Care should be taken in the location of this zone to assure that heavy volumes of traffic generated by automotive- oriented uses do not traverse through residential neighborhoods or through lighter retail commercial areas. The uses characteristic of this zone will be new car sales, incidental automobile service facilities; automobile tire, battery, and accessory stores; service stations; banks; and other support facilities normally associated with new car and truck sales and service. The CA zone should be characterized by buildings and grounds which combine utility and attractive appearance. The utility and accessibility of buildings, display, and parking areas should be softened with generous landscaping along with street frontages. These landscaped areas should contain varieties of shrubs and trees which will enhance the appearance of the area without creating screens which will restrict visibility of automotive displays.
