Section 4 -1 Introduction <br />Overlay zones and districts are much like what they sound - they are a zoning district of sorts <br />laid on top of the base - zoning district. For example, an area may be zoned General Industrial, <br />one of the basic zoning districts. Generally speaking, all of the rules and regulations of this zone, <br />the General Industrial Zone, apply to any land use within the zone. Because the area also has a <br />major road running through it, it may also be partially within the Thoroughfare Overlay zone <br />(TOZ). This additional zone is "overlaid" upon the top of the underlying General Industrial zone <br />and its rules and regulations must also be observed. Using overlay zones on top of basic zoning <br />districts helps to customize the actual land use. Overlay zones are designated on the official <br />zoning maps of Cabarrus County. <br />Section 4 -2 How to use this Chapter <br />Overlay zones in Cabarrus County are organized as follows: <br />PART I.
