D.
Classification of Zoning Districts. Land shall be classified or reclassified into a zoning district only in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 3.4.C, General Zoning District Map Amendment, 3.4.D, Site-Specific Zoning District Map Amendment, 3.4.E, Historic Overlay Zoning District Map Amendment, or 3.4.F, Planned Development.
E.
Relationships Among Base and Overlay Zoning Districts. Regulations governing development in an overlay zoning district shall apply in addition to or instead of the regulations governing development in the underlying base zoning district. Overlay zoning districts may also provide a more flexible alternative to base zoning district standards. If the standards governing an overlay zoning district expressly conflict with those governing an underlying base zoning district, the standards governing the overlay zoning district shall control. If land is classified into multiple overlay zoning districts and the standards governing one overlay zoning district expressly conflict with those governing another overlay zoning district, the more restrictive standard shall apply.
F.
Organization of Zoning District Regulations.
1.
Base Zoning Districts.
a.
Sections 4.2 through 4.7 describe those zoning districts within a particular category of base district (Residential, Business, Tourist, Industrial, Specialty, Redevelopment, and Planned Development). The description of each base district consists of: a Subsection 1 that states the purpose of the district; a Subsection 2 that references the use tables and use-specific standards in Article 5 and any district-specific modifications of those standards; a Subsection 3 that sets out the intensity and dimensional standards applicable in the district; a Subsection 4 that references the development standards in Article 6 and any district-specific modifications of those standards; and photograph(s) of a building form typical in the district; a depiction of a lot pattern typical in the district; and an illustration showing how the district's intensity and dimensional standards apply to typical lot patterns and building forms. Section 4.8, Planned Development Districts, begins with general standards applicable to all Planned Development districts.
b.
The graphics are intended to illustrate the general character of the district and do not necessarily reflect all the standards that may apply to a particular development. All development is subject to Article 5: Use Standards, Article 6: Development Standards, and Article 7, Subdivision Standards.
2.
Overlay Zoning Districts. Section 4.9 sets forth the purpose and standards specific to each of the established overlay zoning districts. Overlay district standards generally supplement standards applied by the underlying base district. Some overlay districts include standards that modify or supersede standards otherwise applied by the underlying base district.
