Actually David, Historic preservation regulations are considered a zoning overlay, and therefore, in the places where such overlays exist, they are supposed to trump the basic MOR zoning provisions.

And related to Arnold's point which I think was supposed to be something like "HPRB has no authority to make decisions based on height" again, height and massing is a key element of the architectural styles and building practices that typify the era of architectural significance that makes up the historical context for particular historic districts. So yes, height is relevant to HPRB decisions as a matter of course.
