§ 1500-08-010. Purpose

Overlay and combining districts are added to a base zoning district to supplement regulations or allow for variations to standard provisions in order to address specific issues or concerns such as resource preservation, historic buildings, or unique development opportunities. Allowed uses, development standards and other requirements of the base zoning district still apply, except as otherwise modified by the applicable overlay or combining district. In some cases, a property may have more than one overlay or combining district in addition to its base zoning district. Where the requirements of two or more overlay or combining districts conflict, the Director shall determine the appropriate requirements. Each overlay district shall be shown on the Zoning Map with a hatched pattern imposed over the base districts. Each combining district shall be shown on the Zoning Map following the base zoning district designation.
