Whatever term you like to use, adaptive (re)use is a great tool for historic property conversion from one use to another. The most well-known ordinance is in Los Angeles, but here in North Carolina the scope of an ordinance like that might be a little out of reach! I like to start small with big ideas, particularly in small communities where elected officials may not be as comfortable with a 'new idea', especially when you start talking about ordinances that work in Los Angeles!
-A
strong Adaptive (Re)Use ordinance can bring redevelopment $ to your community
-Converting
structures from residential to commercial or vice versa is easier to do with an ordianance that is flexible
-When
writing standards for converting buildings and properties, be sure to keep in mind the
Americans with Disabilities Act and the neighbors
