516 Meridian Puyallup, WA 98371-5910

CBD Central Business District Zone. The CBD zone is intended to provide for commercial services in a fashion that preserves and enhances the pedestrian scale and historic character of development in Puyallup's downtown area and commuter rail station center areas. Both the CBD and the CBD-Core zones are also intended for residential development, with either mixed- or single-use development anticipated in the CBD zone, and mixed-use residential in the CBD-Core zone. While the two zones are similar in intent, the CBD-Core zone is intended to develop at a more intense level of development than the surrounding CBD zone and allowed building heights being up to between four and six stories. Small, independent shops and offices are typical to this district. (3) CL Limited Commercial Zone. The CL zone is intended to provide for professional office uses, lower intensity retail commercial, accessory uses and incidental multiple-family residential uses in areas not suitable for general commercial development or adjacent to residential development. The CL zone is also intended to provide for the establishment of well-designed and landscaped mixed-use settings, with building heights of up to three stories. (4) CB Community Business Zone. The CB zone is intended to provide for a full range of business, professional and personal service uses and consumer retail activity in well-designed, integrated developments. Multiple-family and senior housing may also be included as integral elements of mixed-use developments. The size of CB zones may vary from smaller districts primarily intended to serve the Puyallup market to larger districts serving significant portions of Pierce County. The intent of this zone is to accommodate indoor retail and service activities in shopping centers, commercial malls and office complex environments, with building heights ranging between four and six stories. Outdoor displays and sales are to be allowed only as incidental or accessory activities to a primary use; land-intensive uses such as automobile sales are prohibited. (5) CG General Commercial Zone. The CG zone is intended to provide for retailing and other commercial services that serve the large market area surrounding the Puyallup community. Such commercial developments usually rely upon the automobile as their principal source of access. Maximum building heights range between four and six stories. In contrast to the CB zone, some uses in the CG zone may require large tracts of land and involve outdoor display of products for sale (such as automobile sales).
