A. This title establishes the zoning and overlay districts applied to property within the City and adopts the City's official zoning map. The City is divided into different zoning and overlay districts.

B. An overlay district is established to address special or unique needs or characteristics of certain areas in the City, or to limit or expand uses or development standards in the underlying zoning districts due to the special characteristics of the site.

C. This Zoning Ordinance establishes the following zoning and overlay districts provided in Table 14.09.040.A, Zoning and Overlay Districts. The land uses, regulations and standards that apply to each zoning and overlay district are provided within each zoning district and overlay chapter of this title.

TABLE 14.09.040.A: ZONING AND OVERLAY DISTRICTS

This section indicates zoning districts intended to be consistent with each land use designation shown on the General Plan land use diagram. Table 14.09.040.B, Zoning and General Plan Consistency, in this section is to be used in determining whether a proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
