Evidence received by the Planning Commission and contained in previous studies and Pasco Police crime reports demonstrates that certain uses make the central business district less desirable or attractive to the public due to a demonstrated history of contribution to general public disorder, loitering, nuisance and other acts detrimental to the public image of the area. Certain other uses provide entirely, or predominantly, automobile services and, thereby, do not foster the clustering concept intended to attract pedestrian visitors. Other uses may, by their inherent nature, require a disproportionate amount of the limited vicinal on-street parking, for an extended time, which is intended to be available and shared by all business for the short duration convenience of customers.
