Overlay districts are used in combination with base districts
to modify or expand base district regulations. They adapt to the special
needs of areas of the City and further allow Seward's Unified Land
Development Ordinance to evolve as the planning and development needs
and trends of specific areas also change. The overlay districts are
designed to achieve the following objectives:
A. To recognize special conditions in specific parts of the City which
require specific regulation.
B. To provide for the protection of special features in the natural
and built environment of the City.
C. To allow for change and adaptability to different needs and trends
in land development.
D. To encourage comprehensive neighborhood and environmental planning
in the City, and to protect the integrity of vital City services such
as the water supply and airport operation.
E. To provide flexibility in development and to encourage innovative
design through comprehensively planned projects.
The following overlay districts are hereby established:
