What is an overlay zone?

An overlay zone expands the zoning in designated underlying areas and permits an additional use in those areas. In the case of an affordable housing overlay zone district, a property owner can continue to use the property as currently zoned or develop the property with multifamily housing, which would include an affordable housing component of 20%.
