(A) Application of provisions. The HP Historical Preservation District and its regulations may be applied to property located in any other zoning district, whether residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural, in accordance with the provisions of the historical preservation ordinance. The HP Historical Preservation District is intended to be an overlay zoning district and the regulations imposed by such district shall be in addition to the regulations of the underlying district applicable to the subject parcel or area. All provisions of this chapter, including the definitions contained in § 153.03 of this chapter, shall be applicable to this district.
(B) District identification. Tracts, buildings, sites or areas designated by the City Council as being within the HP Historical Preservation District shall be identified on the official zoning map of the city and in other official writings by the suffix “HP”.
(C) District regulations. The designating ordinance shall prescribe the significant exterior architectural features; the types of construction, alteration, demolition and removal, other than those requiring a building or demolition permit that should be reviewed for appropriateness; the design guidelines for applying the criteria for review of appropriateness; permitted uses; special uses; height and area regulations; sign regulation; and parking regulations.
(D) Ordinary maintenance or repair. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent ordinary maintenance or repair of any structure except for exterior alteration.
(E) Uses adjacent to Historical Preservation District. Any use permitted in a residential, commercial, business or industrial district while lying adjacent to or across the street from structures or areas falling within the HP Historical Preservation District shall be screened or designed, as appropriate, so as to minimize its effect upon such structures or area. This required screening or design is specifically made applicable to all properties and uses whether coming into existence prior to the enactment date of this chapter or subsequently coming into existence.
