(A) Purpose and intent. The purpose of the overlay districts is to accommodate special situations that are not generally appropriate to a zoning district. Overlay districts are areas representing a significant community resource. The overlay zones may encompass one or more underlying zoning districts, and the provisions of the overlay district are superimposed upon the property included in the district. An overlay district is shown on the zoning district map and constitutes a second level of development standards in addition to those specified by the underlying zoning district.
(B) Districts.
(1) O-1, US 50 corridor overlay district. The O-1, US 50 corridor overlay district, is intended to provide an attractive business corridor through Seymour, with appropriate traffic access control, landscaping, and other features.
(2) O-2, traditional neighborhood overlay district. The O-2, traditional neighborhood overlay district is intended to preserve traditional neighborhood patterns (including building size, mass, placement, etc.) and uses (including mixed use) and to encourage compatible infill development.
(3) O-3, historic overlay district. The O-3, historic overlay district, is intended to protect and conserve existing buildings and areas of historic significance.
