The HR-O Historic Residential-Office District is established to protect particular residential areas of the city that are listed on the National Register for Historic Places. It is recognized that there are many large single-family structures that can be sympathetically converted to accommodate apartments and professional offices, thereby providing an alternative to demolition. It is the intent of this article to promote high quality adaptive reuse of these properties, encourage the provision of professional services at the neighborhood level without disturbing the residential character of the district, and provide opportunities for the interpretation and conservation of the rich heritage of the city.
