New Section 34-36.1 Intent and Purpose The "RC"-Retail Commercial District is a zoning district intended to accommodate a wide variety of retail commercial uses, including both convenience retail uses and those uses which attract shoppers from a larger market area. All ground floor spaces which have a frontage facing a street should be limited to the retail trade in order to attract and encourage intensive pedestrian traffic. New Section 34-36.3 Permitted Uses Any structure or land in the "RC"-Retail Commercial District may be used for the sales of goods or products, the servicing of materials, goods or products and for office activities subject to all the provisions of the University City Zoning Code and other applicable ordinances and statutes; except that all ground floor spaces with a frontage facing a street shall be limited to the retail sales of goods or merchandise for personal consumption only. Existing residential uses may be continued; except that they shall not be expanded, enlarged or increased in intensity.

(Make old subsection (d) new subsection (e)).
