Historic Design Standards City of Austin Adopted _________ Welcome In Austin, historic preservation encourages the preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites, and districts; promotes awareness of cultural and architectural heritage; and helps shape a more sustainable, equitable, and livable place. As the city grows, these Historic Design Standards will help property owners, designers, builders, and historic preservation professionals make consistent decisions about how to meet present-day needs while stewarding local built heritage and achieving larger goals. Clear standards and graphics show good practices, as well as changes to avoid. The Historic Design Standards were created by a working group representing property owners, designers, developers, advocates, and the Historic Landmark Commission. The working group sought to develop locally relevant standards grounded in national preservation principles. Many members are laypeople, and readability was a key concern: the standards needed to be understandable by property owners and neighbors considering whether to apply for historic district designation, as well as by architects. A Maintenance and Preservation chapter and illustrated glossary support those who want to learn more about architectural elements and materials. The Historic Design Standards promote long-term sustainability by supporting the retention and repair of existing buildings, which keep tons of old-growth wood and other material in use and out of the landfill. They also support sustainable solutions for making buildings more energy efficient now, from high-impact improvements like attic insulation and duct sealing to DIY changes such as weather-stripping around windows and doors. Historic Preservation Office staff are available to answer questions and provide feedback on proposed projects. Reach out to preservation@austintexas.gov or call (512) 974-3393. Left cover image: People looking out over Austin, ca. 1940s Acknowledgments Design Standards Working Group The Historic Landmark Commission created the Design Standards Working Group on September 24, 2018 to create a new set of historic design standards, with the goals of providing clear, user-friendly standards and guidelines for all historic property owners and of simplifying the historic district application process. This document is the product of the working group’s efforts and is modeled on the Preservation Austin design standards template produced through a community initiative in April 2011.

Urban Renewal Board Vision Statement Discussion December 21, 2020 Background “In 1996, the Austin Revitalization Authority (ARA) began developing a Master Plan for the Central East Austin area with an emphasis on redevelopment of the 11th and 12th Street Corridors. A Community Redevelopment Plan (CRP) for East 11th and 12th Streets was also developed. In 1999, City Council passed a resolution in support of the general concepts envisioned in the Master Plan. Subsequently, the corridors were declared urban renewal areas and the CRP, in effect, was translated into the East 11th and 12th Urban Renewal Plan (URP).” Source: Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan 12/21/2020 Urban Renewal Board 2 URP Purpose, Authority and Scope, 1999 “The overall goals and action priorities of this URP reflect a broad consensus of residents, businesses, property owners, institutions, and community activists. The consensus is the result of substantial cumulative planning and revitalization efforts over a period of three years. The fundamental purpose of this plan is to empower community-based groups and individuals to participate as strong and equal partners of the City and the URA in carrying out all of the action programs and public and private improvements which will result in the realization of Austin’s long-term community vision.” Source: Original East 11th and 12th Street Urban Renewal Plan 12/21/2020 Urban Renewal Board 3 San Antonio’s Urban Renewal Agency “The Urban Renewal Agency for the City of San Antonio, referred to as San Antonio Development Agency (SADA), was established by voter referendum in 1957. Since inception, SADA has been involved in 24 urban renewal plans and projects throughout the City. In 2010, SADA was rebranded as Office of Urban Redevelopment San Antonio (OUR SA) to give itself new and fresh name recognition.” For more information visit: https://www.sanantonio.gov/NHSD/Divisions/OurSA 12/21/2020 Urban Renewal Board 4 Austin Revitalization Authority “ARA’s vision is to maintain our commitment to and support of underserved communities which creates neighborhoods that are more attractive with vibrant business corridors and distinct cultural assets.” Source: Austin Revitalization Authority 12/21/2020 Urban Renewal Board 5 URP Working Draft The working draft of the Urban Renewal Plan includes the addition of a vision statement which currently reads: Achieve a sustainable resident-informed revitalization that respects the history and diversity of the East 11th and 12th Street corridors.
