General provisions
338 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
Accessory structures in the SFHA shall comply with the elevation requirements and other requirements of Section 5-3-16 or, if not elevated or dry floodproofed, shall: ...
These provisions shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction of King George County and identified as special flood hazard areas (SFHAs) identified by the County or shown on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) or included in the flood insurance study (FIS) that are provided to the County by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The Highway Corridor Overlay (HCOD) shall apply to all lands identified as by the Board of Supervisors and as shown on the Zoning Map.

Subarea 1 includes all land located off-installation within noise contours greater than 120 peak decibel noise levels associated with military activities, as well as an additional one-half mile buffer outside the 120 dBP noise contour
Subarea 1 includes all land located off-installation within noise contours greater than 120 peak decibel noise levels associated with military activities, as well as an additional one-half mile buffer outside the 120 dBP noise contour to be proactive for possible future NSF Dahlgren operational changes.
Subarea 2 area is where the noise is between 62 dB CDNL and 70 dB CDNL for large caliber weapons. This area is considered to have moderate noise exposure and requires some land use noise control.
Subarea 3 is an area around the source of noise in which the DNL is greater than 70 dB CDNL for large caliber weapons. This area is considered an area of severe noise exposure and requires the greatest degree of land use noise control.
If a use's definition states that the particular use is permitted as ancillary or accessory to another use, a second Zoning Permit is not required for that ancillary or accessory use.
"B" in a Use Matrix cell indicates that the use type in that row is allowed by-right in the zoning district at the head of that column, subject to any Use Performance Standards of Article VII and any Overlay District restrictions in Article V, of this Ordinance.
"SE" in a Use Matrix cell indicates that the use type in that row is allowed in the zoning district at the head of that column only upon approval of a Special Exception Permit, in accordance with Article III, Permits and Applications, and subject to any Use Performance Standards in Article VII and any Overlay District restrictions in Article V, of this Ordinance.
Blank cells in the Use Matrix indicates that the use type in that row is prohibited in the zoning district at the head of that column.
Any use that is not specifically listed as a permitted use or a Special Exception use is prohibited.
The Administrator will determine whether an unlisted use is part of an existing use category or use type as defined in Article XI, Definitions, of this Ordinance. Upon determining the most similar use type, the Administrator will treat the proposed use the same as the most similar use.
If the Administrator determines that the proposed use is not similar to any listed use type, that use is prohibited.
