§ 125-1. Objective.

The preservation and conservation of the unique character of many of the city's residential and commercial areas recognizes that the preservation and protection of the elements that make these areas attractive is consistent with the goal of residential and business district vitality. The historic district objective is to protect a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development. The conservation district objective is to retain the overall physical dimension of areas through appropriately scaled and sited new construction as well as sensitive rehabilitation of those structures which continue to retain functional usefulness.
