Bognedon: Q: Madam Witness, what are the, aside from a C-1 commercial zone, what are the other classifications of commercial zones, ifthere are there? (sic) A: We have commercial C-1, which identified allowed uses, as reflected in our ordinance.

And for C-3, this is already for regional shopping centers, high rise hotels, sports stadium and sports complex. Court: I have a question. Q: Why was it that the application was made pursuant to C-1, when you said that C-3 is for high rise and commercial buildings? A: C-1 is likewise for commercial, Your Honor.
