17.65.010 Purpose.

Lewis County is centrally located on Western Washington’s principal traffic link, I-5. As the local economy has shifted away from historical resource uses, the freeway links in the community have historically provided crossroads commercial centers, focusing on the traveling public and serving resource industries, as well as local community services. The districts provide a base of support for county-wide resource activities and provide a base for needed economic activity and job growth, particularly transportation. The purpose of the Freeway Commercial District is to supply sufficient areas arranged in a concentrated form for land use activities which promote services to the traveling public, convenient access to major transportation routes, and provide areas for new commercial development which does not interfere with existing residential neighborhoods and result in new development beyond areas currently affected by the interchange or interchange oriented development. [Ord. 1292 §13, 2018; Ord. 1170B, 2000]
