Why Track Overlay District?
When a parcel falls within an overlay district, development must comply with both the base zoning requirements and the additional overlay requirements. In some cases, the overlay relaxes base zoning requirements (allowing more density near transit, for example); in other cases, it adds restrictions (like design review in historic districts).
