A. Purpose. Overlay zoning districts are superimposed over either all or a portion of one or more underlying general zoning districts or conditional zoning districts with the intent of supplementing generally applicable development regulations with additional development regulations that address special area-specific conditions, features, or plans while maintaining the character and purposes of the underlying zoning district.
B. Establishment.
1. Table 3.8, Overlay Zoning Districts Established, sets out the overlay zoning districts established by this Ordinance.
2. Some overlay district boundaries are depicted on the Official Zoning Map, though sub-areas within individual overlay districts may be shown on other maps or diagrams which are made a part of this Ordinance and maintained by the Town.
C. Classification. Land shall be classified or reclassified into an overlay zoning district only in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 2.2.24, Zoning Map Amendment, and this section.
D. Relationship to Underlying Zoning Districts.
1. Regulations governing development in an overlay zoning district shall apply in addition to the regulations governing development in the underlying general or conditional zoning district, unless otherwise expressly stated.
2. If the standards governing an overlay zoning district expressly conflict with those governing an underlying general or conditional zoning district, the standards governing the overlay district shall control, unless otherwise stated.
3. Where land is classified into multiple overlay zoning districts and the standards governing one overlay zoning district expressly conflict with those governing another overlay district, the more restrictive standard shall apply.
