18A.10.130 Establishment of overlay districts.
A. An overlay district is a special purpose district that may be combined with any portion of any zone as appropriate to the purpose of the district. The regulations of an overlay district consist of additional sections of this title and additional standards. Some of these regulations are supplementary so that both the regulations of the overlay district and the zone apply, while in other cases the overlay district regulations preempt and override the regulations of the underlying zone. Where these regulations conflict, the overlay regulations shall control.
B. Each overlay district and the abbreviated designation suffix are listed below.
