1269.01 INTENT.
   (a)   The East Main Preservation District is recommended by the City of Ionia Master Plan to be established along both sides of East Main Street between Library Street and Jackson Street.
   (b)   This area contains many large houses of historic and architectural distinction which contribute greatly to the character and identity of the City. The historical and architectural viability of such houses can be threatened by high maintenance costs or conversion to multi-family or non-residential uses if proper review standards are not provided.
   (c)   The intent of this district then is to allow for such houses to be used for a variety of purposes which are deemed to be compatible with the area in order to encourage their continued maintenance and appearance as residential structures thereby preserving the historic and architectural character of East Main Street.
(Ord. 04-2002-01. Passed 4-9-02.)
1269.02 PRINCIPAL PERMITTED USES.
   Single family dwellings and an accessory use in conformity with Section 1240.11(1)K. are permitted in the East Main Preservation District. A barber pole shall be permitted as an accessory structure.
