Listed Historic Resources located outside of historic districts shall be subject to the same protection and regulations applicable to historic resources within historic districts. ➢Section 3.2.2: Architectural compatibility. The CHC reviews development in historic districts for architectural compatibility with nearby historic resources, and for consistency with applicable design and preservation policies, standards, and historic district descriptions in Section 5.2. New development should not sharply contrast with, significantly block public views of, or visually detract from, the historic architectural character of historically designated structures located adjacent to the property to be developed or detract from the prevailing historic architectural character of the historic district.
