Good point Eric. However, the answer to that really lies in how the application for Historic Designation was written out. The correct term is escaping me, but when an application is made to get an area designated as historic there were 'defining elements' of that area which are specified in the application itself. If 'single family row houses and detatched houses' is spelled out, than anyone opposing this use change would have a leg to stand on. If not ... it'll be harder to oppose ... Unless some other defining element touches on something which is only inherent to single family homes or detached houses ....

And incidentally, while they may not need a variance, they're going to need a use change from what is in the tax records (special purpose). I wonder if that is an automatic kind of thing ... or not.
