April 1976 Historic District Supplement: historical zoning summary accompanying a proposal, not current legal guidance.
Several zoning changes have been suggested in the development plan for the Historic District. NONE of these zoning changes will affect the current or existing use of any property. Any existing Commercial or Residential use that conflicts with the proposed zone designation or change would be officially recognized as a NON-CONFORMING USE and may thus continue as currently used.
An abbreviated definition of the zoning districts and regulations.
