[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It’s hard to see how one can add infill development of 12 stories to historic district blocks that vary from one to four stories [b]without basically saying that the historic district shouldn’t really matter anymore.[/b] Even DC’s guidelines for infill in his Otis districts generally limit height to within one additional story of the adjacent structures.[/quote] Not really. We've written historic district regulations based on "compatibility," i.e., the new stuff has to look like the old stuff. But it doesn't have to be that way. For example, historic districts could require preservation of the historic buildings but allow new, infill buildings to look different, have different heights, etc.[/quote] But then it wouldn’t be much of an historic district anymore. But that’s the Trumpy DC Smart Growth objective, isn’t it?[/quote] Why wouldn't it? All of the historic buildings would still be there.[/quote]
