The 220-North Scenic Gateway Overlay District is intended to promote uses with compatible
visual relationship with the natural terrain, existing agricultural uses, and the
established rural setting, by limiting residential density and promoting residential
clustering with the preservation of significant open spaces. The 220-North Scenic
Gateway Overlay District seeks to conserve the scenic views and natural vegetation
of this section of the Route 220 corridor by preserving open space; limiting development
along the highway; prohibiting obtrusive signage; minimizing traffic congestion with
controlling vehicular access to the highway, and encouraging innovative design for
developments. The requirements of this division are meant to work in conjunction with
the requirements of the underlying zoning districts to guide the type and arrangement
of uses, structures, buildings, roads, signs, landscaping, and buffering in an efficient
and coordinated manner.
