AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE STILLWATER
CODE, CHAPTER 31 ENTITLED ZONING ORDINANCE
BY AMENDING "THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY"
TO REZONE PROPERTY WITHIN THE
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD) AND
RB-TWO FAMILY DISTRICT (RB) BY CREATING
OVERLAY DISTRICTS TO KNOWN AS THE
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT RIVERSIDE (CBDR),

CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT HISTORIC (CBDH),

The City Council of the City of Stillwater does ordain:
1. PURPOSE. The City Council finds that the Central Business District (CBD) has been the
core area of the City and its most identifiable resource. Since 1930 when Lowell Park
was established through the generosity of Elmore Lowell and the cooperation of the
Federal Government WP A program, Lowell Park and the downtown have served as the
gateway to the City. The CBD has become a desirable place to work, shop, live and
enjoy cultural and recreational activities and it is therefore apparent that regulations be
adopted that will preserve and enhance the essential character of the downtown and that
structures be limited in height in order that structures close to the river not rise above the
height of structures farther from the river.
