This district protects the scenic views from within the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. The Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is a major asset to economic development, tourism, recreation, and natural resource conservation for Gaston County and the surrounding region. In order to preserve and enhance the natural scenery fostered by the Botanical Garden and enjoyed by visitors to the Garden, Gaston County finds it necessary to control the height of structures within the view from the Garden. Gaston County feels that the erection of tall structures in areas within view of the Botanical Garden can result in the degradation of its natural scenic views and thus reduce its attraction as a natural scenic area and a retreat from urban development.
