Purpose. For this Code, the various zoning districts have been categorized
as Transect Zones and Special Districts which are shown on the Regulating
Map. In general, the standards and provisions for Transect Zones are
designed to create
walkable
, mixed-use
environments, whereas the Special Districts are more reflective of
an existing, primarily automobile-dependent configuration or of a
large area devoted primarily to a single land use, such as a school
campus.B.Â

as shown on the Regulating Map, City of Kingston, New York, dated
August 2, 2023, which map accompanies and which, with all explanatory
matter thereon, is hereby adopted and made part of this chapter. Said
map, indicating the latest amendments, shall be kept up-to-date in
the office of the
Planning Administrator
for the use and benefit of the public.C.Â
