with ample landscaping , effective buffers , and architectural features compatible with and

commercial uses .

Table 18 . 54 . 030A . Because the scale and intensity of the permitted commercial uses may
change over time , commercial development is also limited in size , as shown in Table
18 . 54 . 03ID . Only commercial uses supporting permitted industrial uses , and not stand -
alone commercial uses , are allowed on parcels over five acres in size . Secondary
