If you look at the UDO, those particular parcels are excluded from the 40 story zoning. That’s clearly yet another mechanism to protect them from demolition. If you look specifically at each parcel on the west side of Fayetteville between Hargett and Martin, you’ll see how the zoning heights are pretty much aligned with what’s there. That block is safe. Similarly, Hargett between Wilmington and Blount has a similar zoning pattern aligned with those existing and historic buildings.
