ARTICLE 14.

HISTORIC DISTRICT OVERLAY

Sec. 64-14-1.- Historic District Overlay.

A.

Applicability. The regulation and criteria set forth in this section apply only to the zoning district's dimensional standards.

B.

Permitted uses. See article 2 (use table).

C.

Dimensional standards. The following dimensional standards apply to structures located in a locally designated Historic District. If there are no existing buildings within 150 feet of the proposed development, then the dimensional standards are determined using the dimensions and placement of the buildings on the next adjoining block within the Historic District.

Side yard (min) • At least the side yards of those structures on the same side of the street within 150 feet of both sides (exclusive of right-of-way) of the proposed building site. Additions to an existing structure may align with the existing building. • For corner lots, side yards on side streets may be no less than the side yard setback of the other corner lots, along the same side street, at the same intersection. If there is no structure by which to measure, then the setback requirements of article 3 shall apply.
