The purpose of the C-L, Commercial – Limited District is to provide appropriate locations for office, limited commercial and residential usage where a proliferation of unrestricted commer¬cial usage would be undesirable. The regulations which apply within the district are designed to encourage the formation and continuation of a quiet, compatible and uncongested environment for business and professional offices intermingled harmoniously with existing residences and certain other commercial uses; to discourage any encroachment by unrestricted commercial or industrial establishments, or other uses which might adversely affect the specialized office, limited commercial and residen¬tial character of the district; to reduce existing problems of traffic congestion; and to encourage orderly, well-planned development within this district.
F. Theaters, assembly halls, places of amusement, commercial recreation establish¬ments including skating rinks, swimming pools, golf driving ranges and outdoor movies and clubs, including health clubs and lodges.
O. Dry cleaning shops, pressing shops or tailoring shops, in which only nonexplo¬sive and nonflammable solvents or other processing materials are used and where no work on the premises is done within said C-L zoning district for retail or wholesale outlets elsewhere, except in the case of dry cleaning shops which perform work or do processing for no more than three other retail outlets owned or operated by the same (common) owner or owners as that of the primary facility, in which case the use of the premises for such work or processing shall be limited to:
P. Restaurants, tea rooms, cafes and other similar places serving food or beverages without “in car,” “drive-in” or service outside the building.

3. Uses permitted in the C-L zone shall not generate high intensities of noise, noxious odors, air pollution or glare.

1. Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Part 20, “Off-Street Parking.”
3. All parking areas required under this Part shall be enclosed by a vegetative screen buffer, where such parking area abuts a residential zone or residential use. For an outdoor parking area containing 20 or more spaces, at least one tree for every 10 spaces shall be planted either along the perimeter of such parking area where it abuts a public or private right-of-way, or where it abuts the lot line(s) of land in residential zoning districts or use. A clear site triangle, as required by §1710(2) of this Chapter, shall be maintained at all street intersections and at all points where private accessways intersect public streets. The screen may be broken at points of vehicular or pedestri¬an access and at other points where the Zoning Officer agrees that a barrier is not necessary. The Zoning Officer may determine that a screen along the street or lot lines is not necessary for the protection of the adjacent uses, regardless of the type.
