Encourage the preservation and reuse of historic buildings and properties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>and further down:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Location requirements.<\/p>\n<p>In order to develop and maintain a pedestrian-friendly environment, the following standards should be applied to development within the central downtown area:<\/p>\n<p>a. Buildings should be built at the edge of the public right of way to the greatest extent possible. However, in areas where a setback has been established new buildings should conform to the established setback for the area.<\/p>\n<p>b. In infill situations, buildings should occupy the entire lot frontage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And if you back up to page 3 in the introduction and defnitions of a CM5A zone, it reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;In order to maintain a pedestrian-friendly higher density central downtown, certain development characteristics typically associated with less dense development such as restaurant drive-through facilities, minimum building setbacks, single story buildings and on-site parking should be discouraged.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is no setback in the area.\u00c2\u00a0 The Glorious Church is built to the sidewalk and the Y&#8217;s SOCAP building is also to the sidewalk.\u00c2\u00a0 Look at this photo I took of the new Subway Sandwiches construction location on December 2, 2007:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"left\">This is at the southern end of the lot looking towards downtown.\u00c2\u00a0 The footprint of the new building is at the back end of the property, about as far from the sidewalks and front of the property as possible.\u00c2\u00a0 Plus it&#8217;s been reported that the new Subway will include\u00c2\u00a0a drive-thru.\u00c2\u00a0 So one wonders, why have the guidelines if we&#8217;re not going to follow them?\u00c2\u00a0 It makes you wonder if the &#8220;Around the Square&#8221; plan will be adhered to in the same manner, or if it was something to calm the surrounding neighborhood?\u00c2\u00a0 And why another of our historic buildings with significant architectural features was once again allowed to bite the dust.\u00c2\u00a0 Read this post as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a
