OVERLAY ZONING
ril
TOOL DESCRIPTION
• Overlay zoning is a regulatory tool that creates a special zoning district,
placed over an existing base zone(s), which identifies special provisions in
addition to those in the underlying base zone. The overlay district can
share common boundaries with the base zone or cut across base zone
boundaries. Regulations or incentives are attached to the overlay district
to protect a specific resource or guide development within a special area.
COMMON USE
Development Guidance
Overlay zones may also be applied to protect encourage/discourage specific
types of development or historical areas. A community might use incentives
along a transit corridor to encourage higher development densities, target uses
or control appearance. Land within the historic overlay district may be subject to
requirements that protect the historical nature of the area (e.g. materials,
fagade design, or color).
IMPLEMENTATION
When reviewing a project of any size in the overlay zone, it is important that the development be
consistent not only with the goals and objectives of the overlay but with the long-term goals and strategies
of the overall municipal comprehensive plan.

CURRENT ZONING OF SMIC
Industrial district (1). Established as a district in which the principal use of land is for business,
manufacturing, processing, fabricating, repair, assembly, storage, wholesaling and distributing operations,
which may create some nuisance and which are not properly associated nor compatible with residential
land uses. It is intended to provide environmental safeguards for people employed in or visiting the
district. Some visual amenity is expected in this district to make it compatible with adjoining residential or
business districts

BASIC STEPS TO CREATE NEW OVERLAY DISTRICT
Consider whether the same policy framework could be
achieved through amendment to a zoning district or a new
district.
Spatially define the area of the overlay district. What is the
basis for the boundaries?
Establish a policy framework through a planning study or SMIC
master plan update.

It is critical that the zoning provisions offer clear guidance to both property owners and the governing body
charged with approving proposals. Zoning requirements must be applied equally over all properties within
the district. The ordinance not only must comply with any state and federal regulations, but must also be
consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the municipality's comprehensive plan.
It is important that the local governing body involve the public to clarify issues and explain the reasons
behind mapping district boundaries. An educational program targeting developers and affected property
owners will help increase awareness and compliance with the new requirements.
The procedures for adopting an overlay district are the same as for adopting a zoning or rezoning provision. The
overlay provisions as well as changes to the zoning map must be approved by the local governing body for
adoption.
REVIEW AND ANSWER THESE IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS:
How will the new standards guide development in a way that reflects the vision and/or
Policy? "Revenues to SMIC and to the City could be further enhanced with the introduction of retail commercial
activities, such as hoteling accommodations, convenience shopping, and food and restaurant services that
generate tax receipts to the City."(October 2016 SMIC Uplands Development Study)
What will the overlay district regulate and how is it different from the underlying zoning?
"Consider zoning modifications permitting the inclusion of housing, convenience shopping and food
services at SMIC as the area becomes further developed."(October 2016SMIC Uplands Development Study)

T e cost to create a district s ou a suns r to e potentialcost to modify e existing or mane. Little any additionalsta wou e require
to administer the new zoning provisions.
Zoning provisions fort e overlay zone in a ition to asezoning rules maybe confusing to the public without some education.
Political willingness will depend upon the provisions within the ordinance.
T e tool can be perceived as fair it all properties wi in e zoneare treated equally and the criteria for delineating the zone are straightforward an
justified.
Anoverlay district can be integrated into the administration of the existing zoning ordinance. An additional process may need to be established lor
small projects needing only a budding permit. A well -written ordinance and clear boundaries will simplify compliance.
T e tool is most often unplemented at the munic ipal scale.
