Sec. 910.14  Historic preservation.

    (a) The Development Area is located almost entirely within the 
Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site, which was established to 
preserve the exceptional values of Pennsylvania Avenue and its environs 
in commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States. The 
Pennsylvania Avenue Area achieves national historic significance because 
of both its ceremonial role in the life of the nation and its social and 
economic role in the life of the residents of Washington for more than a 
century.
    (b) The Historic Preservation Plan of the Corporation sets forth the 
adopted policy of the Corporation on historic preservation and 
development within the Development Area must be consistent with this 
policy.
    (c) New construction adjacent to historic structures will be 
required to take into account the qualities of the adjacent structures 
(with regard to height, scale, proportion, rhythm, texture, materials, 
architectural detail, and the amount of variety among the structures 
with respect to these qualities as well as style and date of erection) 
to ensure that these structures maintain their historic or architectural 
integrity, but will not necessarily be required to conform to them.
    (d) Wholly new construction and new construction in conjunction with 
preservation will, where appropriate, take into account the historic 
buildings to remain, aiming for the highest quality of contemporary 
design, consistent with the goals and objectives of the Historic 
Preservation Plan.
