accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location
of the district in proximity to streets and highways. C-G General Retail And Service

are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely within a building; to provide for a review
of the impact of proposed commercial uses which are auto and service oriented and are located
in close proximity to major highway or arterial streets; to fulfill the need of travel-related
