(b) Downtown Historic District (DHD). The purpose of the Downtown Historical District is to provide for the restoration and preservation of the historic characteristics of the downtown area, and for the development of the properties within the district. The district is an area of significant heritage and cultural characteristics of the City containing a concentration of historic features. The Downtown Historic District is established by City Ordinance No. 2001-3203, passed June 7, 2001.
