§ 9.2. Establishment and designation.

Overlay zoning districts are established through "zoning change" procedures as established in Article 2 of this Code and in conjunction with base zoning districts. Except as modified by the overlay zoning district, the provisions of the applicable base-zoning district shall apply to all development within the boundary of the designated area. If regulations conflict, the applicable overlay zoning district regulations shall prevail.

Whenever an overlay district is established, any subsequent application to change the base-zoning district shall not be construed to be an application to eliminate the overlay district for the property covered by the application. An intent to eliminate the overlay district on a given property shall be expressly stated to be part of the application.
