20.03.02 Standard Districts

Standard districts are divided into one of the following categories: Agricultural Districts, Residential Districts, Commercial Districts, or Employment Districts. Each standard district serves a different purpose and imposes its own set of requirements and restrictions on the use of land in addition to the general requirements and restrictions imposed on all land or uses within the zoning jurisdiction. A standard district may be layered with an overlay district.

20.03.03 Overlay Districts

Overlay districts are established to provide for certain additional requirements, to permit uses not otherwise permitted in the underlying standard district, to prohibit uses allowed in the underlying standard district, or to establish special development requirements for uses permitted in the standard district. Thus, where overlay districts exist and there is a conflict between the requirements or uses specified between the overlay and the underlying district, the standards 20.03.04 of the overlay district shall prevail. Otherwise, the standards of the underlying district shall apply for an overlay district. Zoning Districts The following tables provide the standards for all zoning districts within City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County. The tables include the purpose, intensity and dimensional standards with notes, images of example building types, example lot patterns, example development configurations, and cross references to other sections in this Ordinance.
