Article 3: Zoning Districts
SECTION 3.1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
3.1.1. Establishment of Zoning Districts
This Ordinance establishes the base, planned
development, and overlay zoning districts listed in
Table 3.1.1, Zoning Districts Established, as well as
conditional zoning districts paralleling each of the base
zoning districts identified in Table 3.1.1.
3.1.2. Types of Zoning Districts
A. Base Zoning Districts
1. Base zoning districts are established initially
by the Town Council’s adoption of the Official
Zoning Map and subsequently by approval of
a General Rezoning (see Section 2.3.5). Such
approval authorizes the full range of
development allowed by the standards
applicable to the base zoning district.
2. Development in a base zoning district is
subject to predetermined standards set out or
referenced for the district in Section 3.2
through Section 3.6.
3. For each base zoning district, regulations set
out the district’s purpose and the intensity and
dimensional standards applicable in the
district, and reference other Ordinance
standards generally applicable to
development in the district. Each base zoning
district also includes a photo depicting a
building form typical in the district and an
illustration depicting how the district’s
dimensional standards apply to lots and
typical building forms. The illustration is
intended to illustrate the general character of the district; if a standard shown in the illustration is
inconsistent with the table of intensity or dimensional standards, the standards in the table shall
govern.
B. Conditional Zoning Districts
1. Conditional zoning districts (e.g., C-NAC) parallel each of the base zoning districts and are
established through the Town Council’s approval of a Conditional Rezoning (see Section 2.5.3), which
incorporates district-specific plans and conditions agreed to by the owner(s) of the rezoned land.
2. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1.4, Development Incentives Option , development in a
conditional zoning district is subject to the same standards applicable to the parallel base zoning
district, as modified by the approved district-specific plans and conditions.
