Upon compliance with the procedures set out in § 152.032 of this ordinance, the Union County Board of Commissioners, the Monroe City Council, or the Marshville or Wingate Town Councils may as part of a zoning or other ordinance enacted or amended pursuant to this ordinance designate and from time-to-time amend one or more historic districts within the area subject to the ordinance. The ordinance may treat historic districts either as a separate use district classification or as districts that overlay other zoning districts. Where historic districts are designated as separate use districts, the zoning ordinance may include as uses by right or as conditional or special uses those uses found by the Historic Preservation Commission to have existed during the period sought to be restored or preserved, or to be compatible with the restoration or preservation of the district.
