BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Danville makes the following
findings in support of the proposed incentive package:
.
As an incentive to encourage owners of historic properties to participate in the
Heritage Resource program, the Historic Preservation Ordinance (Ordinance
No. 89-8) grants the Town authority to waive restrictions on the location of
office uses in Area 1 of the Downtown Business District.
.
There is no evidence before the Town that business and professional office uses
at the subject site will result in a negative impact to the retail atmosphere of

Area I of the Downtown Business District.
.
The negligible minor fiscal impact resulting from a reduction of property taxes
collected by the Town is outweighed by the public benefit of preserving the
subject structure; and be it
FLIRTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Council approves the following incentives as a
part of the Heritage Resource Incentive package for the property:
.
Business and Professional Office uses, as defined by Section 32-15.16 b.2 and
b.3 (Area 6; Business and Professional Offices) of the Downtown Business
District Ordinance are permitted uses at the subject site.
2. Participation in a Mills Act Contract with the Town of Danville; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, the Town Council hereby authorizes the Town Manager to
