18.12.040 Zoning district and map designation purpose.

The purpose statements for each zoning district and map designation set forth in the respective chapters shall be used to guide the application of the districts and designations to all lands in unincorporated Douglas County.

18.12.060 Map designation—District overlay.

The purpose of the district overlay designation established within the DCC is to implement comprehensive plan policies that identify recreational activities or special opportunities for achieving public benefits by allowing uses that differ from the specific provisions set forth within the applicable zoning district. District overlays are generally applied to site specific proposals on an individual property or a group of properties. Not every property in which the overlay district may be applied will meet the minimum provisions and policies set forth in the comprehensive plan. (Ord. TLS 08-03-05 Exh. B (part): Ord.
