This district also recognizes that many tourism businesses and venues are located along highway and major arterial routes in order to take advantage of the high traffic volume from visitors to the area.

Uses requiring special use permits are those that would not be appropriate without restrictions and is not permitted by right or conditionally, but allowed through regulations as to the number, area, location, relation to neighborhoods, operations or other pertinent considerations and specification/criteria as specified in this Code.
