ZONING DESIGNATIONS FOUND IN SOUTH GULF COVE
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 South Gulf Cove 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.
