Medina has made the district part of a historic overlay district in its zoning code.

In 2009 it adopted a new zoning code which recognizes several different types of residential uses within the village and provides for a future historic overlay district.

Historic overlay districts have been increasingly used as a more flexible tool for municipal historic regulation since their inception in the mid-twentieth century.

There is no historic overlay district.

Along with Sparta and the waterfront, the district is covered by a historic overlay district defined elsewhere in the zoning code.

The form-based code can be adopted as a new zoning district or as an overlay district.

Historic overlay district, a zoning district that applies special rules to a portion of other districts, usually for historic or conservation reasons.

The lawyer for White Post Farms said he was drafting an application to the town for the creation of the special overlay district.

On parcels of 3,000 acres or more, the new zoning allows overlay districts, where mixed-use projects can be built in areas zoned residential or agricultural.

Through zoning regulations, historic districts, and other special zoning districts, including overlay districts, are established.
