DEVELOPMENT CODE

  • B. Applicability and Development Standards: The tone and character of substantially developed fringe areas are generally already established and those characteristics shall be maintained while complying with the requirements of the zoning district. Any undeveloped parcels within these areas, before annexation, shall be developed per the applicable zoning district requirements listed in this Development Code for that district.

Sec. 1011. CROZ – Cultural Resources Overlay Zone: The Cultural Resources Overlay Zone (CR) is established to assist in implementation of the requirements of RC Policy I1.1.4 of the 2035 Kings County General Plan. It is intended that the CR Overlay Zone is to be applied to all properties designated historic sites or County landmarks.

  • A. The CR Overlay Zone is strictly an informational designation which serves to advise property owners, County staff, and the general public that a property is a designated Cultural or Historic Resource and, as such, is subject to all the requirements of the 2035 Kings County General Plan.

  • B. The CR Overlay Zone does not change the use and development standards of the underlying base zone. Any application that involves the removal, destruction, or alteration of proposed or designated historic site or County landmark shall be referred to the Kings County Museum Advisory Committee or its successor for recommended mitigation measures.

  • C. Maximum Site Coverage: The combination of accessory and primary structures on a parcel shall not exceed the maximum site coverage allowed by the land use regulations for the applicable zoning district.
