The Historic Area Conservation District is a concise geographic area in which structures, spaces, streets, and objects collectively convey a strong sense of a period (or periods) in history, generally at least fifty years in the past. The degree to which an area conveys a sense of history is dependent upon such factors as the following:
(a) The architectural and aesthetic quality of older buildings in the area;
(b) The prominence of modern development and other development which does not contribute to the area's historic character;
(c) The area's association with events or individuals significant in history, and
(d) The physical linkages which create a sense of place and cohesiveness throughout the area. (Ord. 76-2008. Passed 1-27-09.)
