rules.
§12.03.04 The Board reviews the request for compliance with this Ordinance and all other applicable codes and

ANALYSIS/EVALUATION:
This structure was built circa 1880 for David Hall (see 1984 National Register of Historic Places inventory). Most recently,
it was utilized as a law office.
A fire occurred in late 2010 that damaged the structure, and it has not been occupied since, but repairs have occurred.
Properties to the north and west are also zoned B-1 and are being used as residences.
