Purpose; Main Street district; Main Street overlay district defined. <br />The purpose of the Main Street district is to preserve the character of the original Main Street area of <br />La Porte.

The general boundaries of <br />the Main Street overlay portion of the district shall extend from SH 146 to Kansas, and include the <br />properties along both sides of Main Street. These properties are bounded on the north by the alley <br />located north of and parallel to Main Street and on the south by the alley located south of and parallel to <br />Main Street (see map). The general boundaries of the Main Street district shall be from SH 146 eastward <br />to Kansas St. on both sides of Main Street from the alley one-half block north to the alley one-half block <br />south of Main Street. The overall boundary shall be SH 146 to Kansas plus one block south (1st and W. <br />"B" to Virginia and back up to E. "A"). (See Map) <br />(Ord. No. 1501-AAAA, § 6, 10-11-04) <br />Sec. 106-511.
