The City of Circleville contains areas with unique and valuable historic and architectural resources. The purpose of this District is to protect those existing resources by ensuring that any future rehabilitation or new development blends with the existing architectural styles of the surrounding areas. The rehabilitation of existing structures and any new infill development should also be focused on mixed-use, pedestrian oriented design. Ground floor retail with large windows should be promoted. Residential uses on upper floors should be encouraged to help strengthen and support the vibrancy of the downtown business area.
It is also the intent of this District to protect buildings that are on the National Historic Register but located outside the overlay boundaries depicted on zoning map.
