Austin Equity-Based Preservation Plan Implementation: TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS (TDR) Market Analysis Historic Landmark Commission June 3, 2026 The Why Council Direction: Comprehensively reform Austin's historic tax incentive program to advance equity and align with specific recommendations in the Equity-Based Preservation Plan, including Transfers of Development Rights. (Resolution 20230323-059, Resolution 20241121-078 Motion Sheet #1) Downtown Austin Plan: Establish a Transfer of Development Rights system to allow Warehouse District property owners to sell unused floor area to property owners seeking greater density in other parts of Downtown. (Adopted 2011) Equity-Based Preservation Plan: Actively explore how a Transfer of Development Rights program could successfully support preservation of smaller-scale downtown buildings, commercial corridors, and historic districts in areas targeted for higher density. (Adopted Nov. 2024 as part of Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan) What is Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)? How It Works • Voluntary, market-based tool • The owner of a protected property (sending site) sells unused development capacity • The developer (receiving site) purchases additional development capacity for a new building Sending Sites are properties the City wants to protect, such as historic landmarks. Receiving Sites are properties in areas targeted for higher population density and growth. Receiving Site Sending Site Sending Site Source: NYU Furman Center TDR & Density Bonus Programs Considerations for Integration • Similar areas, different scales • Affordability should remain a priority • Setting a maximum allowable height would provide predictability for developers and neighbors • Further analysis and refinement are critical to ensure that any future TDR program complements density bonus programs Example Receiving Zones + TDR + Density Bonus + By-Right = Maximum Allowable Height TDR Project Timeline 5 2 0 2 . v o N 6 2 0 2 . n a J Research & Analysis Technical Analysis Engagement 6 2 0 2 h c r a M 6 2 0 2 l i r p A 6 2 0 2 e n u J We Are Here Program Structure 6 2 0 2 y l u J Final Report Survey & Focus Group Housing & Planning Committee Historic Landmark Commission Council Memo 1 2 3 4 TDR Stakeholder Committee Review TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Technical Analysis Study Areas Potential Sending Zones Example Receiving Zones Scale of TDR Supply Potential Sending Parcels 447 parcels may qualify as sending sites Sending Zone Historic Landmarks Eligible Landmarks E 11th & 12th St E Cesar Chavez & E 6th St …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness June 3, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on August 15, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Postpone the public hearing to the July 1, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting and invite the applicant to the May 13, 2026 meeting of the Architectural Review Committee to discuss alternatives to demolition. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 5 – 2 Property Information Photos 5 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

6 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness June 3, 2026 HR-2026-021800 Castle Hill Historic District 1107 West 9th Street Proposal Renovate existing house. The non-contributing rear house will also be modified. Project Specifications 1) Replace existing siding with painted wood lap siding. 2) Construct new 8’0” steel fence. 3) Replace existing windows. 4) Construct rear addition with dormer. 5) Remove chimney from east dormer. 6) Replace existing roof. Architecture A 2010 historic zoning application describes the building as follows: The house is one-and-a-half stories with a hipped roof, hipped dormers, and a wraparound porch…Above the front door there is a transom, an integral part of architecture of the period as well…The house still has 7 working transoms throughout the inside, which helped to circulate the air between rooms…The house has had a number of changes over the years. The house first appears on the 1922 Sanborn Fire Insurance Company map and shows a smaller footprint…[it] had a porch stretching all the way across the front of the house and another one along the east side. …Between 1922 and 1935, design of the house was modified to include a bay window, extend the sides and include a small porch in the middle of the back of the house. In 1962 the house was modified again — the bay window was brought forward a few feet onto the porch to create a larger living room inside — which eliminated the front porch in front of this window, and the back part of the side porch was enclosed to enlarge the bedroom. In 2008 the kitchen…was extended slightly to the rear…In 2010 the front porch was restored to again extend all the way across the front of the house (and free one of the original porch pillars from the wall built in 1962) by moving a modified version of the bay window back (Tim Cuppett was also the architect for this project). All of the finishes and details on the outside of the house are original with the exception of the new bay window.1 However, former Historic Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky noted that the 2010 addition likely destroyed original fabric at the front of the house: The house had a projecting canted bay on the right side of the façade, which staff believes was original to the house in form, despite depictions on historical Sanborn Fire Insurance Company maps. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness June 3, 2026 HR-2026-036164 Hyde Park Local Historic District 304 West 42nd Street 7 – 1 Proposal Demolish a contributing building and replace it with a new building. Project Specifications The proposed new building spans two lots and is oriented towards Avenue C rather than West 42nd Street. It is two stories in height, clad in horizontal lap siding with board and batten accents. The roof is composed of a series of compound gables and a shed-roof dormer at the southern elevation. A partial-width covered porch displays Craftsman-inspired proportions and triangular brackets at the 42nd Street elevation; similar brackets appear at gable ends on the Avenue C façade and at the westernmost carport elevation. Fenestration includes fixed, casement, and 1:1 windows interspersed throughout each elevation. Architecture 304 West 42nd Street is a ca. 1932 bungalow. It is one story in height, clad in horizontal wood siding, with simple massing and a side-gabled rectangular plan. A gabled garage abuts the easternmost elevation. Fenestration includes 1:1 wood windows. Exposed rafter tails are present at eaves and triangular brackets at gable ends. Design Standards The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1: Prevention of Demolition. Demolition of any contributing structure is strongly discouraged under all circumstances. The proposed project includes demolition of a contributing building. 5. Residential Standards: New Construction of Single-Family Structures 5.1: Massing, Scale, and Architectural Elements. Use massing, scale, and architectural elements typical of the contributing buildings on the block when designing a new building. The geometry of new house construction shall be in a scale with contributing buildings on the same block. When applying to Historic Landmark Commission, include photographs of all existing adjacent buildings and any other buildings on the block which have inspired design choices for the new construction. Proposed massing is more complicated than contributing buildings nearby, though the new building reflects historic-era gable forms. The building’s location, with the main entrance fronting Avenue C and the long secondary side along 42nd, is not consistent with the streetscape; however, the secondary entrance and gabled porch somewhat mitigate this. 5.3: Porches. Front porches on new construction are not necessary, but if present, they must be at least 7 feet deep. The proposed porch is approximately 5.25’ at the 42nd Street elevation …
Historic Landmark Commission Homeowner Response 304 W 42nd Street 1. The Home’s original location does not meet the intent of the area and is not compatible with Hyde Park’s NCCD Ordinance # 20101216-093 Design standards for both Remodeling and New Construction. The Home is located at the rear of the property, and 5’ of the existing structure is currently non-compliant with current City building guidelines for setbacks. The Ordinance requires 5.9 New construction garages to be detached and at the rear of the property, Carports can’t face the front of the building. This creates a hardship for the Owner, as the current location of the home will not allow for remodeling. The Owner wants to add a garage or carport, and the proposed way to alleviate the homeowner’s hardship is to construct a new Home within the NCCD’s guidelines and get the parking (carport) at the rear portion of the property. 2. Part 7 of Hyde Park NCCD shows that the intent of the property is to locate the House facing Ave C. Part 7 of The Hyde Park NCCD # 2009423-092, as well as current City Regulations, would require this property to Face Ave C. The City will consider the narrow or shorter side of the property Ave C the front regarding current setbacks 25’ front and the corner, longer side 15’ the side setback, side property. Reviewing the 3 corresponding corner properties (see attached) of 42nd street at Ave C, 4201 Ave C, 4114 Ave C and 4115 Ave C, all are front facing Ave C, all at the front setback line. The house at 304 W 42nd Street is built at the rear of the property line currently encroaching The City of Austin’s rear setback guidelines. 3. 4.2 of The Ordinance #20101216-093 requires that any new Additions be located at the rear or rear side to be less visible from the street. This part of the Ordinance gives additional hardship to the Owner as the current location of the existing home is entirely at the rear of the property and would not allow for any new additions because any new additions or alterations could only go to the front of the Lot and facing Ave C. The Owner wants a garage or carport, so there is no way of keeping part of the current homes “elevation” since this is the only location on the lot for a …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness June 3, 2026 HR-2026-057184 Aldridge Place Historic District 208 West 32nd Street 8 – 1 Proposal Relocate a contributing property on the same lot and construct a two-story addition, along with a detached garage. Project Specifications 1) Rotate an existing 1,382 square foot contributing resource on its existing site to allow it to fit within setback requirements. 2) Demolish a rear corner and side wall, along with a portion of the front wall and porch. In its place, construct an addition to the rear of the existing house, along with a second story that encompasses a portion of the existing house’s footprint. 3) Demolish the existing rear garage and construct a new garage in its place. Architecture This property is a single-story, largely symmetrical house that contributes to the Aldridge Place historic district. It features a deep front porch that is located at the center of the front elevation facing 32nd Street. Though it is on a corner lot, and many such properties in the district face Hemphill Park or otherwise open up to both streets, this house does not. There are several sets of paired wood windows on the front and sides of the house. One is found immediately adjacent to the front door, and two are located towards the rear of the Hemphill Park side. Windows are either 1-over-1 or 4-over-1 fixtures, which may indicate some replacement over time. The house is set on pier and beam foundation, and brick posts appear at the bottom half of the front porch supports. The roof is standing seam metal in material. Overall, the house is in a threatened condition due to years of neglect and likely requires foundation shoring and reinforcement. Design Standards The Aldridge Place Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: General Standards 5.1.1. Prevention of Demolition This application seeks to avoid total demolition, but does significantly alter the contributing property to the point that it will be read very differently from the street. While the street facing facades will be largely left intact, the two rear walls will see significant removal of historic material. 5.1.2. Retention of Historic Style While the existing style of the building is largely being retained, there are some features that are proposed to be removed from the 32nd Street elevation, such as …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness June 3, 2026 HR-2026-058442 Webster House 706 Oakland Avenue 9 – 1 Proposal Make several alterations to a landmarked building. Project Specifications 1) Perform several work items at a landmarked building, which has been altered in various stages since original construction. These alterations include: a. Constructing a driveway b. Changing out a basement door c. Cladding non-historic metal columns d. Removal of an inappropriate stairwell enclosure e. Construction of two gable dormers f. Removal of a small exterior storage room Architecture While City of Austin landmarks have typically been designated with their original architectural design largely intact, the Webster House saw numerous small alterations after its 1916 construction and before its 2009 landmark designation. These include an enclosed porch at the northeast (the most prominent corner) and several small additions, some of which are very visually prominent on the house (for example, a narrow stairwell enclosure can be found above the enclosed porch, near the front of the house. These cumulative changes have made it somewhat difficult to understand what was the original building. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Material proposed to be demolished is understood to be from after original construction. Generally, historic wall and roof systems that touch these sections to be removed will be retained and patched with matching materials. 2. Foundations A basement door entryway is proposed at the front of the existing concrete skirt, which is full height due to grade changes on site. It is highly recommended that the applicant consider where, if possible, this doorway may be installed in a more discreet location. 3. Roofs Several alterations will be made to the roofline, largely in service of removing non-historic material. However, two dormers are proposed above the enclosed porch to provide light to the second floor playroom. The material for the roofs of these dormers are not disclosed, but they must be compatible with the existing roof around it. 4. Exterior walls and trim Drawings indicate that any areas where non-original walls will be removed will be patched with materials similar to the original. If those exact products have not been identified, the applicant must …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness June 3, 2026 HR-2026-056957 Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District 2006 Maple Avenue 10 – 1 Proposal Demolish a rear, non-original addition at a contributing property, and construct a new addition in a similar location. Project Specifications 1) Demolish the rear portion of the property behind what is understood to be the original structure on the site, which is a two-bedroom section and rectangular in form. This front section will be retained. 2) Construct a new rear addition behind the original house that will connect only where the above demolition occurs. Addition will be a single-story, rectangular in plan, and will not exceed the width of the original house footprint. 3) Alter the driveway to terminate near the original house and construct a carport. Existing curb cut location will be retained. Architecture The existing building at 2006 Maple Avenue is a single-story, rectangular structure that is set above grade at its front and accessed by a concrete stair, which leads to a front porch facing the street. The house is clad on all sides by tile siding, though the exact material is unknown. To the left of the front door is a set of paired, 1-over-1 windows, and to the right is a large picture window overlooking the street. To the rear of the property, the house extends beyond the rectangular footprint towards the northwest, which was once a garage that has since been enclosed. Though the house does not feature many stylistic embellishments, it fits well with the form, scale, and experience of other contributing properties in the Rogers Washington Holy Cross neighborhood, for which it is a contributing property. Design Standards The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: General Standards 1. Protected Facades The front and sides of the originally constructed building are to be retained. Siding material on this portion of the building is to be replaced, due to deterioration and the possibility of hazardous materials present. The application lists the new material as “New Hardie Siding,” but it is highly recommended that, when a specific product is selected, that information is shared with the Historic Preservation Office staff to ensure it is an accurate and appropriate match to existing material. Additionally, a stone material cladding is proposed at the existing concrete …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts June 3, 2026 PR-2026-053670 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1109 Travis Heights Boulevard 12 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1920 house. Architecture This American Foursquare house with Prairie School stylistic influences was constructed around 1920. The two- story house has a low-pitched hipped roof with broad overhangs. The full-width, hipped-roof porch has a long, open span supported at the corners by large square columns. The second floor had recessed corners that been infilled and converted to interior space. Much of the house has been covered with aluminum siding. Wood windows appear throughout the building, with larger, multi-lite fixtures appearing at the front elevation and simpler 1-over-1 units more common at the sides and rear. Research Early owners of this ca. 1920 house were Elmer & Cora Young. E. E. Young was co-owner of an automotive dealership, Hart & Young, Willys-Knight and Overland Austin Agency; he later bought out his partner and continued operation under his name. He served as president of the local automobile dealers’ association. Shortly before his death in 1928, Young became secretary of the Stacy Realty Company, developer of the Travis Heights neighborhood. Later owners included Charles & Katherine Brunner, who owned the house from 1929 until 1947. Charles Brunner operated a jewelry business on East Sixth St. beginning in the late 1890s. After his death in 1933, Katherine Brunner continued to run the jewelry store for another ten years. It appears that she leased out the house following her husband’s death but moved back in around 1941. In the 1950s, the house was occupied by Robert B. and Gwendolyn Hill. Robert Hill was a foreman at the Calcasieu Lumber Company. Department Comments A demolition permit for this property was originally referred to HLC in July 2019, and the case was subsequently withdrawn. Meeting minutes are available here: https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=325930. Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on October 27, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits June 3, 2026 PR-2026-040403 1808 East Cesar Chavez Street 13 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1930 structure. Architecture The existing structure is a two story commercial structure with two storefront entries side-by-side on the main elevation. There is a small, metal clad awning above the ground floor entryways. Above, two sets of paired, wood- frame windows are present at the second floor, with a moderately pitched hipped roof with exposed rafter tails above. The roof material is metal standing seam, and all exterior walls are clad in thin teardrop siding. While several of the windows are currently boarded over or otherwise inaccessible, images from the past decade would indicate that the existing material is largely intact, if in need of repair. Research This property has a long history of commercial tenants who served the East Austin community. For several decades after construction, it was home to a beauty parlor, a barber shop, and a shoe repair shop. By the 1950s, one or more of these tenants had vacated the building, but there was always at least one occupied storefront at the property. Newspaper records feature advertisements for Smith’s Barber Shop, Guarantee Wave Shop, and Carlson’s Shoe Repair Shop. The latter of these was owned by Reverend E. A. Carlson, formerly a Swedish Baptist minister, for 31 years until his death in 1964. Department Comments Two permits were issued for the property in 1999, though there are no digitized records of the application material. However, summary descriptions are available in city records. One permit described work to remodel the building’s interior & exterior to create a duplex. The second permit from the same year is summarized as, “Add 1st floor stair tower, porch, and 2nd floor extension.” There are no records of this property being surveyed in the 1980 East Austin historic resource survey or the 1984 citywide comprehensive resource survey. At time of writing, no photos of the property can be found prior to the 1999 permits. This application will time out on July 20, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as eligible as a City of Austin landmark, as well as contributing to a potential local or National Register historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits June 3, 2026 DA-2026-038798 403 Orchard Street 14 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1912 house, currently used as a business. Architecture This house is a single-story National Folk style building with an inset porch at one corner. The walls are clad in wood tongue and groove siding, and the windows appear to be original wood frames. There is a moderately pitched hipped roof clad in composite shingles. The foundation is pier and beam, with the house slightly elevated above grade. Newspaper records indicate that a permit was issued for two additional rear rooms in 1944, which was the only significant alteration to the building. Research In the first few decades after construction, the occupants of the property were employed in local industries that were situated near the adjacent railroad tracks, including the Austin Transit Company and an ice storage facility. The longest occupants were Leo Payne, who worked as an iceman, and Braulio and Maria Quintanilla, who worked as a cobbler and shoe salesman. They would remain at the address through at least the 1950s, and raised at least one son in the house. Department Comments This application will time out on July 20, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2025 Downtown Austin historic resource survey lists the property as a high priority and eligible for the National Register as an individual resource or contributing to a potential district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of the National Folk form and style that was once common to the area, with few remaining examples. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits June 3, 2026 DA-2026-038813 1208 West 4th Street 15 – 1 Proposal Demolish a Quonset hut currently used as a brewery and a ca. 1910 back house. Architecture The main structure of this complex of buildings and additions is a Quonset hut, which was moved to its current location from Camp Mabry in the 1970s, though no permit records could be found confirming this. Its distinctive curved enclosure currently houses a brewery and associated back of house spaces. The original material of the roof structure is intact, but new walls at the east and west side were constructed around 2020 when the current business opened. The historic material that remains is in relatively good condition, considering the design intent of Quonset huts as being temporary or quick-to-construct shelter. To the side, a wooden tongue-and-groove clad back house is currently used for additional brewery space, and it appears that, when the Quonset hut was moved to its current location, it was placed very near this structure. Research As stated above, there are few records that exist of the hut’s origin beyond that it was constructed for Camp Mabry and was moved on site in the 1970s. Aerial imagery of the property from before this shows a largely empty lot, with the exception of the back house. There appears to be vehicles and various materials stored on the site. It is unknown whether there were previous structures that are illegible in historic aerials, as permit records for this property are scarce. Department Comments This application will time out on July 20, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2025 Downtown Austin historic resource survey lists both the Quonset hut structure and the back house as medium priorities, though there is no specific recommendation for preservation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is an intact and well maintained Quonset hut, which retains its legibility behind recent additions and porch/shade structures. However, the structure was not original to the property and was moved to its current location in the 1970s. b. Historical association. The property may have significant historical associations, as a surviving …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits June 3, 2026 PR-2026-056008; GF-2026-059357 916 West Live Oak Street 16 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1925 building. Architecture This modest, single-story structure is laid out in a rectangular plan and features Craftsman-style elements. It is elevated slightly above grade on pier and beam foundation, and clad in original teardrop siding. The windows appear to be replacement 1-over-1 fixtures of varying sizes. The centered front porch features hemispherical curved wood entryway decoration at its center, complete with decorative elements including brackets. There is a paired set of windows on either side of the entryway. Above, the roof is a moderately pitched side gable assembly. Besides the windows, the house retains good integrity of its original construction. Research Longtime owners of the property, Sidney and Cleo Holder, lived at the address from its construction around 1925 until at least the 1960s. Sidney worked in carpentry, and was employed for many years as a cabinet maker at Becker Lumber Company, but by the 1950s had started his own business as a contractor and millworker. The two raised at least one child, Robert, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, before returning home and living with the family while working as an assistant at the University of Texas.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits June 3, 2026 PR-2026-057561; GF-2026-059385 1302 Garden Street 17 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1930 house. Architecture This property is a single-story and rectangular in plan set on a raised pier-and-beam foundation. There is a center porch which extends roughly halfway across the front façade. There are two front doors set side-by-side, which may indicate that this structure was once a duplex. A gable roof covers the porch, which meets the overall hipped roof structure behind it. The windows appear to be original, 1-over-1 units. The original teardrop siding and rafter tails remain present and, while weathered, the house retains good integrity of its original construction details. Research The first residents of the property were Fred & Vida Simpson, who rented the address for over ten years. Fred worked various roles in the soft drink industry, specifically in distribution and sales. By the mid-1940s, the house was owned by Beatrice & Thomas Townsley. At this time, Thomas was listed as a student and Beatrice worked as a waitress at the Terrace Motel Restaurant. By 1959, they had moved away and the house was occupied by renters once again. Department Comments This application will time out on August 17, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as contributing to a potential local or National Register historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate-to-high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

To: From: Date: Subject: MEMORANDUM Historic Landmark Commission Historic Preservation Office Staff May 27, 2026 Staff-Recommended Addition to Proposed Alterations to Historic Tax Abatement Program The purpose of this attachment is for a staff-requested revision to the program rules for the Historic Tax Abatement program. This revision would require any Part II (Verification of completed work and review of expenditures) application be submitted by an applicant within one calendar year of the substantial completion of approved work to the Historic Preservation Office for review. Currently, program rules state that “a certificate of occupancy must be obtained within 2 years after the date the Certificate of Eligibility (Part I application) is approved.” This statement is proposed to remain, with language added to require the submission of application material be made to the Historic Preservation Office in a timely manner in order to better track and close out open projects. Currently, there is no stated time requirement for the submission of paperwork, only a timeline for which rehabilitation work must be completed. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Austin Lukes, Planner Senior of Austin Planning at austin.lukes@austintexas.gov or 512-978-0766.
