(1) 
The purpose of the Historic Overlay District is to preserve, protect, and restore the architectural integrity of the homes and structures located within the Village's Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and other historic landmarks, buildings, and sites recognized by the Scottsville Historic Preservation Commission (see § 170-25). The intent in identifying these sites is to promote the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the public through the restoration and maintenance of said sites as a landmark in the history of architecture and as a tangible reminder of community life as it existed in the early days of the state. Further, it is a purpose to maintain the distinctive character of the district and its architectural integrity and to establish procedures for preserving the neighborhoods.
(2) 
All use, dimensional, and bulk regulations of properties within the Historic Overlay District shall be determined by the underlying base district (residential, business, or industrial) of each specific lot in question.
(3) 
All properties located within Historic Overlay District boundaries shall also comply with § 170-25 of this chapter.
A. 
The boundaries of each of the districts listed in § 170-7 are hereby established as shown upon the duly adopted Zoning Map, which, with all notations, references and other matters shown thereon, is hereby declared a part of this chapter. The district boundary lines, unless shown otherwise, are intended generally to follow street center lines, railroad right-of-way boundary lines or their center lines or other similar right-of-way lines or lot lines or boundaries of subdivisions or municipal boundary lines, all as shown on the Zoning Map. Where a district boundary line does not follow such a line on the Zoning Map, the distance between the parallel lines shall be as dimensioned on the Zoning Map. Such dimensions shall be construed to read from the outside edge of all rights-of-way rather than from their center lines.
B. 
Where the street layout actually on the ground varies from the street layout as shown on the Zoning Map, the designation shown on the mapped streets shall be applied in such a way as to carry out the Code Enforcement Officer's judgment as to the purpose and intent of the Zoning Map for the particular area in question. When the location of a district boundary line cannot be otherwise determined, the determination thereof shall be made by the Code Enforcement Officer by scaling the distance on the Zoning Map from a line of known location to such district boundary line. In the case of uncertainly as to the true location of a district boundary line in a particular instance, an appeal may be taken to the Board of Appeals, as provided in § 170-56.
C. 
When a district boundary line divides a lot in a single ownership at the effective date of this chapter or any subsequent amendment thereto, the Board of Appeals may permit extension into one district of a lawful conforming use existing in the other district, as hereafter provided in § 170-57.
Within any district, a building, structure or lot shall only be used for one of the uses indicated in the Use Regulations tables (Tables 170-11.1,[1] 170-13.1,[2] and 170-15.1) for the specific district in which it is located on the Zoning Map and in accordance with the particular classification of that use in that district. Further, any such building, structure or lot shall only be utilized in conformance with the provisions of the Dimensional Requirements and Bulk Requirements tables (Tables 170-11.2,[3] 170-11.3,[4] 170-13.2,[5] 170-13.3,[6] 170-15.2, and 170-15.3). In addition, such use shall comply with all other applicable provisions of this chapter.

A. 
One-Family Residential Districts (R1-16, R1-12, R1-6).
(1) 
The purpose of the one-family residential districts is to support the goals and policies contained in the Village's Comprehensive Plan while permitting the construction of one-family dwelling units on varying lot areas typical of the Village's traditional settlement pattern. Each one-family residential district is tailored to respect the Village's existing residential character areas with the following minimum lot areas:
(a) 
R1-16 District. The R1-16 District is restricted to a minimum lot area of 16,000 square feet.
(b) 
R1-12 District. The R1-12 District is restricted to a minimum lot area of 12,000 square feet.
(c) 
R1-6 District. The R1-6 District is restricted to a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet. This district is intended to accommodate a higher density development pattern than the previously listed districts.
(2) 
The pattern of development in these districts shall foster a walkable neighborhood environment with sidewalks, streetlighting, street trees and garages located at the side or rear portions of the lots. In areas where there are established neighborhoods, the intent, is to preserve the original development pattern generally consisting of owner-occupied, one-family, detached homes with unobstructed front yards and pedestrian-scaled streetscapes.
B. 
RA1-4 District. The purpose of the RA1-4 One-Family District is to provide for the accommodation of one-family attached residential units on the smallest lot area permitted in the Village while supporting the goals and policies of the Village's Comprehensive Plan. The pattern of development within this district is intended to serve as a transition between the traditional, established one-family neighborhoods of the Village and multifamily residential developments, while fostering a walkable, pedestrian-scaled environment.
C. 
RM District. The purpose of the RM Multifamily District is to provide for the highest density and broadest mix of residential living opportunities within the Village, while supporting the goals and policies contained in the Village's Comprehensive Plan. These neighborhoods permit the development of multifamily residential units, such as apartments or condominiums. Developments in this district shall positively contribute to the existing walkable Village environment and employ techniques to minimize negative impacts (including circulation, parking, glare, noise, etc.) on existing residential areas and neighboring properties.

A. 
General Business (GB) District. The purpose of the General Business District is to encourage commercial development and to support the goals and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan and the North Road Traffic Circulation and Safety Study. The GB District is established to provide areas for commercial activities that balance the economic opportunities associated with more heavily trafficked roadways with resident needs and the desired character of the Village. This district encourages the application of site design and buffering techniques to mitigate the impacts of commercial operations and traffic on adjacent uses. Development in this district will promote the health, safety, and general welfare of Village residents and visitors by fostering alternative and multi-modal transportation choices and enhancements to the public realm that support greater social interaction.
B. 
Central Business District (CBD). The purpose of the Central Business District is to support the goals and policies contained in the Village's Comprehensive Plan and other relevant adopted plans and studies. The CB District is intended to foster the development of a pedestrian-scaled, mixed-use business district that caters to the community's need for local retail, services, and entertainment in a manner that is consistent with the traditional, historic character of the downtown area. In order to accomplish this, the CBD will regulate the location, design and use of structures and land to foster a dense concentration of activity with a high degree of amenities that creates a comfortable environment for Village residents and visitors. The CBD will also foster alternative and multi-modal transportation choices and enhancements to the public realm that support greater social interaction.
