A.

trade. The district shall generally be considered inappropriate in
those parts of the City where individual uses can be grouped in preplanned
concentrations and in newly developing areas, such as those in areas
that have been annexed to the City. Adequate transportation and site
planning of uses should have the goal of minimizing through-traffic
movements.
