The HPO district, historic property overlay district, is a particular type of zoning overlay that does not reduce the requirements of the property's underlying zone district. The HPO district allows property owners to petition the City for inclusion of any property within the Florence City limits into the HPO district. The City should allow inclusion of those properties that the City and property owner agree are of a historically or architecturally significant nature sufficient to warrant protection from demolition or exterior visual change without following established guidelines. The process to place property in the HPO district shall be the same as the City uses for property rezoning as described in Chapter 17.76.
