(b) Relationship to Overlay Zoning Districts.
(1) The creation of overlay zoning districts is authorized to achieve particularized zoning objectives within a defined area when deemed necessary to address unique characteristics of that area.
(2) When established, overlay districts shall be shown on the Zoning Map as dashed lines labeled with the name of the overlay district.
(3) Effect of Overlay Districts.
A. Overlay district regulations establish zoning regulations applicable only within the territorial boundaries of the overlay district to which they pertain.
B. Overlay district regulations may establish minimum architectural and site improvement standards that differ from the requirements generally applicable to similarly zoned properties not located within the overlay district, regulate certain land uses that are permitted by the general zoning regulations pertaining to the use of similarly zoned lands not located within the overlay district, or modify the procedures employed to resolve zoning compliance issues when the land subject to regulation lies within the overlay district.
C. If any overlay district regulation is thought to be inconsistent with a general provision of the codified ordinances, the provisions shall, if possible, be construed so that full effect is given to both. 1f the conflict between the provisions is irreconcilable, the provisions of the overlay district regulations shall prevail over the general ordinance as an exception to the general ordinance.
D. Where land is classified into an overlay zoning district as well as a base zoning district, the regulations governing development in the overlay zoning district shall apply in addition to the regulations governing the base zoning district.
