What is c-2 zoning?

C-2 zoning, or Commercial 2 zoning, typically designates areas intended for a broad range of commercial activities, including retail, services, and some light manufacturing. This zoning classification allows for a higher density of development compared to lower commercial zones, often enabling larger buildings and greater variety of uses. Regulations can vary by municipality, but C-2 zones generally aim to promote economic growth while ensuring compatibility with surrounding areas.
