Purpose
The Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Zone is intended to provide a vehicle to
initiate and implement programs for the revitalization or conservation of older
areas or districts possessing distinctive features, identity, or character
worthy of retention and enhancement. A Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Zone
takes effect through adoption of a neighborhood conservation plan and a set of
guidelines that will facilitate maintenance and protection of the neighborhood
character and the development of vacant or underused lots. Incompatible mixes of
uses will be reduced or prohibited by adding limitations to the list of
permitted, limited and special uses of the base district.
