The purpose of the Medical Overlay is to allow for hospitals and areas around them to be developed with a concentration of medical facilities and related uses. The overlay will consider the character of the surrounding neighborhoods and business districts. The Medical Overlay District should have a campus-like atmosphere with pedestrian connections, landscaping, and compatible architecture. The Medical Overlay District is designated in conjunction with the underlying zoning classification. The Medical Overlay adds permitted and conditional uses to the underlying district. The conversion of existing homes to medical facilities is highly discouraged; rather the construction of new facilities is encouraged.
