Transition Area Overlay

This dataset is designed to represent and identify the boundaries of various overlay zones within Lexington-Fayette County. The overlay zones allow additional zoning requirements in addition to the underlying zoning category in areas that are imposed by the Urban County Council. Overlay zone boundaries are determined by the Planning Services section of the Lexington Fayette-County Division of Planning. Boundaries are defined by street centerlines and parcel boundaries. Upon approval the boundaries are forwarded from Planning Services to the GIS Office for inclusion in this dataset. Overlay zones include: Courthouse Area Design Overlay Zone - intended to encourage growth and redevelopment in the Downtown Area while preserving and protecting the unique features and characteristics of the area in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and the design guidelines for the Courthouse Area adopted by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council. H1 - Historic District Overlay - intended to promote the economic and general welfare of the people of Fayette County and of the general public, and to ensure the complementary, orderly and efficient growth and development of Fayette County, it is deemed essential by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council that the qualities relating to the history of the county and a harmonious outward appearance of structures which preserve property values and attract tourists and residents alike be preserved. It is the finding of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council that the individual nature and character of this county cannot be properly maintained or enhanced unless its distinctive historic districts, landmarks, sites, neighborhoods, areas, places, structures, improvements, geological and archaeological sites are preserved. ND1 - Neighborhood Design Overlay - intended to promote the economic and general welfare of the people of Fayette County and of the general public; and to ensure the complementary, orderly and efficient growth and development of Fayette County, it is deemed essential by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council that the qualities relating to the visual characteristics that give a distinct identity to an area and a harmonious appearance of structures that stabilize the area, (including residential neighborhoods and nonresidential or mixed use areas) and/or maintain their character, be protected, conserved and preserved. Paris Pike Overlay - intended for lands adjoining the Paris Pike between Johnston Road (to the south) and the Paris city limits (to the north); and the regulations hereunder shall be established in addition to the zone classifications shown on the Zoning Map Atlas for the subject areas, and the applicable regulations contained in this Zoning Ordinance. The use, dimensions and other requirements for said zones, as provided in the Zoning Ordinance, shall apply unless further restricted hereunder. Where there are conflicts between the regulations hereunder, and those contained elsewhere in the Zoning Ordinance, the more restrictive shall apply. Transition Area Overlay - intended to be used in conjunction with an EAR zoning category to allow for the development of residential uses and civic, cultural, religious, and educational institutions on lands which are located immediately adjacent to Community Center zones.本数据集旨在表征并识别莱克星顿-费耶特县（Lexington-Fayette County）内各类叠加区划（Overlay Zone）的边界。叠加区划指由城市县议会（Urban County Council）划定的、在基础区划类别之外增设额外管控要求的区域。叠加区划边界由莱克星顿费耶特县规划局规划服务科（Planning Services section of the Lexington Fayette-County Division of Planning）确定，以道路中心线和地块边界作为划定依据。经审批通过后，规划服务科会将边界数据移交至地理信息系统（GIS）办公室，纳入本数据集。 叠加区划涵盖以下类型： 1. 法院区域设计叠加区划（Courthouse Area Design Overlay Zone）：旨在促进中心城区的增长与再开发，同时契合《综合规划》及莱克星顿-费耶特城市县议会通过的法院区域设计导则，保护该区域的独特风貌与特质。 2. H1——历史街区叠加区划（Historic District Overlay）：为推动费耶特县民众与公众的经济福祉及整体福利，保障费耶特县协调、有序且高效的增长与发展，莱克星顿-费耶特城市县议会认定，保护与本县历史相关的特质、维持建筑外观和谐以保护物业价值并吸引游客与居民，至关重要。议会同时认定，唯有妥善保护本县独特的历史街区、地标、遗址、社区、区域、场所、建筑、改良设施及地质与考古遗址，方能维护并提升本县的个性与特质。 3.
