  • Intent
  • Overlay Zone Districts are generally intended to apply

in special and unique cases, to provide a vehicle to supplement underlying Zone District standards with adjusted standards or allowances.

  • 3 types of Overlay Zone

Districts

  • Conservation – intended to conserve distinct

character in specific areas (e.g. Curtis Park accessory structures)

  • Use – allows or prohibits specific uses (e.g. billboard

uses)

  • Design – to reinforce a desired design character (e.g.

Sloan’s Lake height transition)

  • Adopted by City Council
  • Supplements underlying zoning standards
  • Does not require a new review process, unlike design guidelines
  • Applies only to new development
