A recent poll of 380 property owners along the Avenue show they support the move by a vote of 115 to 67... nearly a third of them did not respond to the survey.
Preservationists have been pushing to designate a three-mile stretch of Rivermont as a historic district.
Supporters say it would help prevent older buildings from being torn down or radically altered and would also boost overall property values.
Opponents say historic districts infringe on property owners' basic rights.
