4 General Design Guidelines for






                       New Development on the






                       Central Station Block







                       The  Central  Station  block  presents  a  unique
                       opportunity  for  creative  density  that  contributes
                       to an active downtown, while reflecting the design
                       traditions of historic resources from the past 150
                       years.


                       Key to any new development on the Central Station
                       Block is  that it should  express  creativity and

                       innovation  in design,  while drawing upon  basic
                       features  of the  massing, architectural  details and
                       styles seen in early- and mid-20th-century buildings.
                       Just as the surrounding buildings are “of their time,”
                       structure(s) on the Central Station block must be as
                       well.
