The Glen Royall Mill Village Character Preservation Overlay District is comprised of the properties shown within the MVCP-O area on the zoning overlay map. These properties are in the Glen Royall Mill Village National Register Historic District. It is an area made up primarily of single-family detached homes.

This overlay district seeks to protect the special character and charm of this significant historic district.
