HC-Highway Corridor Overlay
HC
Highway Corridor Overlay.
The purpose of the HC district is to protect the health, safety,
and general welfare of the public by the prevention or reduction of traffic
congestion, and distracting visual clutter which may result in danger on the
public and private streets, a limitation is hereby placed on certain automobile
oriented, fast service, quick turnover uses and related signage, which generate
traffic in such amount and in such manner as to present the possibility of
increased danger to the motoring public and other impediments to safe travel.
This district is created in recognition of the need to provide suitable and
sufficient road systems in the county and the need to protect existing and
future highways from unsafe use.

The regulations and requirements of both the underlying district(s) and the HC shall apply; provided, however, that when the regulations applicable to the HC conflict with the regulations of the underlying district, the more restrictive regulations shall apply.
