§ 3.1. Establishment and intent of zoning districts.

The town and its extraterritorial planning jurisdiction are hereby divided into zoning districts as enumerated below. The use regulations and intensity regulations applicable for such zoning districts are designated in sections 3.7 and 3.8 of this article.

3.1.1 General use districts may be established by the town council approval of a general rezoning pursuant to the procedures established in section 4.4.2 of this appendix. Such approval authorizes the full range of uses in accordance with the standards applicable to the general use district.

3.1.2 Conditional use districts may be established by the town council approval of a conditional use district rezoning pursuant to the procedures established in section 4.4.2 of this appendix. Conditional use districts parallel general use districts and require an approval of an accompanying special use permit, which incorporates district-specific site plans and conditions agreed to by the owner(s) of the rezoned land. A special use permit application must be submitted within one (1) year of an approved rezoning pursuant to the procedures established in section 4.5.3 of this appendix. Such approval authorizes the development of the conditional use district-specific site plan in accordance with the standards applicable to the general use district as modified by the stipulations contained within the special use permit.

3.1.3 The Light-Industrial Conditional Zoning District (LI-CZD), may be established by the town council approval of a conditional zoning district rezoning pursuant to the procedures established in section 4.4.3 of this Appendix. The light-industrial conditional zoning district incorporates district-specific rezoning plans and conditions agreed to by the owner(s) of the rezoned land. Such approval authorizes development of the Light-Industrial conditional zoning district-specific rezoning plan in accordance with the standards applicable to the conditional zoning district, as modified by the conditions contained with the conditional zoning district rezoning approval.

3.1.4 Conditional Zoning Districts, other than the LI-CZD, may be established by the town council approval of a conditional zoning district pursuant to the procedures established in section 4.4.5 of this appendix, provided the conditional zoning district is deemed consistent with the land use plan in the comprehensive plan by locating in conformance with an adopted small area plan and/or in one of the following land use categories:

Conditional zoning districts incorporate district-specific plans and conditions agreed to by the town and the owner(s) of the rezoning land. Conditional zoning districts are designated with the suffix CZD on the zoning atlas.
