§ 2.7.001 "H-1200-4300" Historical District regulations.
(a)
Use Regulations:
In a H-1200-4300 HISTORICAL DISTRICT, no land shall be used and no building erected or converted to any other use than permitted in ARTICLE 3.2. The Historical district zoning is only valid on those properties in the Town of Shady Shores which have been zoned Historical District prior to the effective date of this ordinance. The lots zoned as Historical District continue to be zoned as they were prior to this amendment. No other areas of the Town which are not zoned as Historical District prior to the effective date of this ordinance are approved to request such zoning.
The comprehensive planning map of future zoning shall be amended to remove all areas which had shown areas where Historical District zoning could be requested prior to the effective date of this ordinance. Only those properties which have actually applied for and been zoned by ordinance as Historical District properties will remain on the map as currently zoned as Historical District property.
