Background
The district serves as an overlay zone to the city's zoning ordinance. The Board of Architectural Review must issue a Certificate of Appropriateness for any alteration to residential or commercial buildings along the corridor. [2] The ADC guidelines describe the corridor as an "increasingly vital commercial district with strong definition of the street edge and moderate pedestrian activity, typically medium-scaled, turn-of-the-century masonry structures, generally mixed-use with commercial/service below and residential above, street parking with small off street lots." [3]
Boundaries
The district spans along West Main Street from 14th Street to 5th Street SW.[1] There are three sub-areas.
- West of Tenth Street
- 10th Street to Drewary Brown Bridge
- East of Drewary Brown Bridge
