University District Overlay. The University District Overlay was adopted on Third and Final Reading by the Memphis City Council on July 7, 2009. Also on July7, 2009, the Memphis City Council adopted a comprehensive plan and a comprehensive rezoning for the area. The materials associated with these approvals are found below.

• University District Comprehensive Rezoning (signed City Council ordinance)
• Zoning Map of the University District before rezoning
• Zoning Map of the University District, 2016
• OPD Staff Report explaining the Comprehensive Rezoning and Overlay Regulations
• Today, the University District Overlay is codified as Chapter 8.3 of the Unified Development Code (see link above). This chapter includes the frontage map, which shows the streets where buildings are to be constructed in close proximity to the street (as Sec.8.3.6C of the DDC); the building height map (as Sec. 8.3.7 of the UDC) and the table of permitted uses in the District (as Sec. 8.3.11).
