Overlay districts exist all over Greensboro. They help neighborhoods, roadways, and specific areas of the city tailor the existing Development Ordinance to reflect the special qualities and characteristics of a place.

Below are the current overlay zoning districts in Greensboro. The manuals, plans and districts below are not official and should only be used for reference and illustrative purposes.
