Special Purpose Districts
Special purpose zoning districts are established to accommodate unique uses or development types or to address special development conditions. Special purpose zoning districts are base zoning districts intended for very specific application.
4.1.3. Overlay Zoning Districts
As the name implies, overlay districts work in combination with base zoning districts to impose additional requirements and standards on specific property or to modify the standards associated with the base zoning district. These additional standards only apply within the limits of the overlay district. Overlay zoning districts are established and amended in accordance with the rezoning procedures applicable to any other zoning district, except as otherwise provided within this Code.
4.1.4. Obsolete Zoning Districts
The C-1, C-2, M, and R-4 zoning districts have been declared to be obsolete pursuant to BoCC Resolution No. 91-59, Land Use 10 as replaced by Resolution 92-46, Land Use-9. No land will be rezoned to an Obsolete Zoning district. The BoCC may modify the allowed uses, special uses, and development standards within these zoning districts.
Landowners are encouraged to rezone land from an Obsolete Zoning district classification. The BoCC may offer incentives, such as modified application fees in order to accomplish this goal.
