In North Carolina, CC Zoning (Community Commercial) designates areas for businesses offering neighborhood and community-wide goods/services, allowing diverse retail, offices, and potential mixed-use with residential, featuring specific rules on setbacks, height (e.g., up to 35-40 ft), lot size (e.g., 20,000 sq ft), and landscaping, though exact rules vary by town like Zebulon or West Point. It supports shopping centers and community needs, differing from highway commercial or industrial zones, and often requires planning board approval for specific uses. Key Characteristics of CC Zoning: Purpose: To create convenient commercial centers serving residents and the wider community. Permitted Uses: Retail stores, services, larger shopping centers, specialty shops, and potentially residential units in mixed-use developments. Specifics Vary: Regulations like minimum lot size (e.g., 20,000 sq ft), building height (e.g., 35-40 ft), and setbacks (front, side, rear yards) are set by each city or county. Examples: West Point's CC zones have specific lot area/height rules, while Zebulon's general commercial (C-2) has 30' front setback and 35' height limits. Contrast: It's distinct from Highway Commercial (C-H) for regional draws or Industrial (I) zones for manufacturing.
