| Abstract: |
Zoning regulations affecting a property may either encourage or discourage its preservation. The use of zoning tools for the preservation of historical properties is discussed in this report. Specific zoning strategies covered include transfer of development rights; special or conditional use ordinances; conversion of institutional or industrial structures to residential use; zoning restrictions in commercial areas of historic districts; special district zoning; height or floor area ratio restrictions; and modification of zoning rights. Case studies and a 1984 update are included. |
