Cazenovia Town City Zoning Code
ARTICLE VII
Overlay Districts
§ 165-21 Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to create a procedure whereby the Town Board may create additional zoning classifications within the Town in the form of an "overlay district."
A.
Creation of district. An overlay district may be created for the purpose of improving, developing, and/or generally enhancing any group of properties within the Town, including but not limited to any neighborhood, street, business area or other defined area of the Town. Properties to be included in any particular overlay district shall generally share common characteristics and goals for aesthetics, environmental resources, economics, safety and/or convenience.
B.
Adoption of overlay districts.
(1)
Where an overlay district is created by the Town Board, any such local law which creates an overlay district shall define the purposes, goals, restrictions and requirements that will be applicable to the overlay district.
(2)
Any requirements of an overlay district so created in the Town shall be subject to enforcement in accordance with this code in the same force and effect as all other zoning districts in the Town.
(3)
For any overlay district, unless specifically noted otherwise, the base zoning shall be secondary and subject to the uses permitted, specifically permitted or otherwise allowed in such overlay district. Similarly, the lot area and yard regulations of the overlay district shall apply to any permitted, specially permitted or otherwise allowed uses unless otherwise stated. In all cases, unless so stated, the most restrictive regulation shall apply.
