Editor's Note: Original § 68, Redesignation of districts, which immediately followed this section, was repealed 6-20-2001 by L.L. No. 3-2001. See now § 295-3, Establishment of districts. Former Art. XVI, Land Use Districts, § 295-68, Zoning descriptions, was repealed 2-18-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015. The current Zoning Map and the complete text of amendments to the Zoning Map are on file in the Town offices. The map can also be found in the misc. documents folder under Public Documents in eCode360®. Original § 71, Restricted development in the Marketplace Area, which also followed this section, added 6-15-1994, expired 6-15-1995 and therefore no longer appears as a part of this chapter.
