Frequently Asked Questions This FAQ sheet is intended to provide a brief orientation to the Historic Design Standards. Please contact preservation@austintexas.gov if you have further questions or feedback about the standards. 1 Why were the Historic Design Standards I own a property in a locally designated historic developed? Don’t we already have standards for district. How will the Historic Design Standards 3 historic properties? affect me? The Historic Design Standards were developed to clarify existing standards for historic landmarks and National Register districts, and to make the historic district application process easier and more equitable for new districts. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation form the foundation of preservation practice in the United States and are used in Austin to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks and in National Register district. However, these very general standards can be challenging to interpret when planning and evaluating specific projects. The Historic Design Standards build on them with more specific standards and illustrations of good practices. For new historic districts, community members compiling an application currently must hire a consultant or learn how to develop their own design standards, then go through multiple rounds of review with other property owners and City staff. This adds time and cost to the application process—and results in design standards that are nearly identical to those for other districts. The Historic Design Standards will provide a consistent, predictable set of standards for all areas considering historic district designation. 2 I own a historic landmark. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing standards for exterior changes to historic landmarks, as well as new construction on landmarked properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation that City staff and the Historic Landmark Commisison currently use to evaluate changes to historic landmarks, but they are clearer, more specific, and easier to use for planning and evaluating projects. The Historic Design Standards will not affect previously agreed-upon design standards for existing historic districts. They do align with existing district design standards and may be adopted by property owners within each district if desired. 4 I own a property in a National Register district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing recommended guidelines for changes to …
A.2 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET 11/16/2020 11/24/2020 HLC DATE: PC DATE: CASE NUMBER: C14H-2020-0087 APPLICANT: Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas Baker LLC HISTORIC NAME: Baker School WATERSHED: Waller Creek Council District: 9 ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 3908 Avenue B ZONING FROM: GR-HD-NCCP-NP to GR-HD-H-NCCD-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change to designate the former Baker School as a historic landmark with reduced boundaries to include the school building and its frontage to the street with a buffer on the north, south, and west of the building. The applicant has offered a similar proposal for a reduced zoning area that includes more property than staff recommends. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Historical significance and community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 26, 2020: Postponed to November 16, 2020. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The former Baker School is contributing to the Hyde Park Local Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: December 10, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Hyde Park Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: While City Code does not allow a contributing building within a local historic district to be designated as a historic landmark for its architectural significance, the former Baker School is worthy of an architectural description as it reflects the work of three of the most prominent architects in Austin in the early- to mid-20th century. Built in 1911, the building is a raised two-story institutional building with a raised full basement. The building is constructed of Austin Common buff brick with poured concrete accents. The building has bands of five 2:2 windows with transoms in the principal block (these, while believed to be of historic age, are A.2 - 2 not original); the raised basement level also features bands of five 2:2 windows, but without transoms. The principal entry faces Avenue B, and has a brick portico that once had Doric columns and arched sides; the portico frames the raised and recessed entry, which features a double set of glazed wood doors. The portico has a small gablet at its center, echoing the gablet on the top of the building which has the inscription “Baker School.” Additional decorative aspects of the building include concrete bracket-like moldings in the at the top of the pilasters defining the bays, and a prominent cornice. At the north and south ends of the original 1911 building …
WEISS ARCHITECTURE 3355 BEE CAVES RD #303 AUSTIN TEXAS 78746 TEL 512.447.6806ㆍ WEISSARCHITECTURE.COM Permit Number: 2020-116861 ZC Baker School postponement for discussion on Oct 26 November 10, 2020 Preservation Office and Historic Landmark Commission Response Letter: At the HLC meeting on October 26, the Baker school Historic Zoning case was tabled for discussion, in order to explore opportunities for limiting the zoning area and explore opportunities for onsite affordable housing. I would like to provide some backup to aid in moving forward with Historic Zoning. A. When the property was purchased in 2019, the 1 acre rear portion of the lot, known as the Baker Field, was rezoned to allow for 50’ in height and up to 5 stories of residential development, including a 25% affordability rate. However, in March of this year, the city purchased the Baker Field in order to build a regional detention pond. While AISD required a public good to be included in the uses on site, affordable housing was replaced with drainage for the public good. We would support any efforts to have the city build affordable housing in conjunction with their regional detention pond on the land that they acquired. In our negotiations with the neighborhood and the city in 2018, it was agreed that the zoning include a front setback that aligns with the front of the Baker school. Therefore, the zoning already specifies that there can be no development from the frontage at Avenue B to the face of the existing Baker School building. This was intended to maintain the Historic character of the site. B. C. There are 3 contributing structures that were included in the renovation of the Baker School, but nothing prevents affordable housing from being built inside the building in the future. If office proves not to be a viable use in the future, the interior of these buildings could be converted in to residences, 25% of which would be affordable through restrictive covenant. D. There are 2 side parking lots that house required parking for the building. The zoning ordinance allows the Baker school to use adjacent off street parking toward its parking calculations, but if you include on street and adjacent off street parking, the current parking calculation is met exactly. If the existing onsite parking lots were to be developed, there would be more uses (requiring additional parking) and the current required parking would be …
Staff proposal for historic zoning of the Baker School, 3908 Avenue B The proposal includes the two areas outlined in purple, which encompass all contributing buildings as well as an adequate buffer zone around the building to protect the context of the building and its setting. The entire site is contributing to the Hyde Park Local Historic District, which means that any changes anywhere on the site will require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Landmark Commission for any proposal that does not fall within the Historic Preservation Office’s administrative approval authority. The limited area for historic zoning focuses the attention of the historic zoning application on the historic school building and associated contributing structures and avoids the situation of zoning parking lots and other site features as part of the historic zoning application. If the Commission agrees with either the applicant’s offer or the staff’s recommendation, field notes will be required before drafting the ordinance granting the zoning change.
November 11, 2020 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Baker School Historic Zoning Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to express our support of the proposed historic zoning of 3908 Avenue B, the Baker School. The property has clear historical associations and community value, which we implore the Historic Landmark Commission to recognize. Historical Associations: Built in 1911, Baker School is one of the oldest school buildings in the city. It was built to serve the developing Hyde Park neighborhood. Its namesake was DeWitt Clinton Baker (1832-1881), who helped establish the Austin public school system as well as Austin’s first public library. Community Value: The school is a neighborhood focal point, signaling Hyde Park as an upper-middle-class district. The founders recognized the need for social, cultural, religious, and educational institutions to attract residents. In the early 20th century, the importance of education reflects Austin’s transition from a frontier city to one of a cultured and literate population. Architectural Significance: The Baker School is also a contributing structure to the Hyde Park Historic District, already recognizing its architectural significance. Three prominent local architecture firms contributed to the existing structure, Roy Thomas, Hugo Kuehne, and Kreisle and Brooks. The popular Neo-Classical style of the early 20th century is evident in Baker School. This fall Preservation Austin honored Baker School with a 2020 Preservation Merit Award for its rehabilitation, and its owners have long demonstrated their commitment to historic preservation in our city. As Austin faces more school closures on the horizon, we are all called to find creative and sustainable ways to honor this heritage while serving today’s businesses and families. Preservation Austin has adopted this issue as a FY21 Advocacy Priority, and will work to educate our community and our leaders about the potential for adaptive reuse of Austin’s decommissioned schools as one option for the challenges facing AISD – using Baker School as an example of how to do this so well. Thank you for your service to the community, Clayton Bullock, President
A.4 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: November 16, 2020 November 24, 2020 CASE NUMBER: C14H-2020-0113 APPLICANT: Thomas Cooke; Casey Jordan, agent HISTORIC NAME: E.A. Murchison House WATERSHED: Blunn Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1304 Alta Vista Avenue ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence, neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district to single family residence – Historic Landmark – neighborhood plan (SF-3-H-NP) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: The E.A. Murchison House meets the criteria for designation for its architectural significance for its Tudor Revival architecture and its historical significance for its associations with civic leader and Austin School Board leader E.A. Murchison. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is listed as a Priority 2 for research in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: December 10, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: South River City Citizens Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The E.A. Murchison House is a one-and-a-half story, irregular plan, stone-clad Tudor Revival house designed by Houston architect H.L. Murchison for his parents, E.A. and Emma Murchison. The house is a relatively large example of Tudor Revival domestic architecture, occupying a large lot for an estate setting. It exhibits the hallmarks of the Tudor Revival style, including the random ashlar stone exterior, false half-timbering in the tympanae of the prominent gables, turned brackets, an asymmetrical composition, and a stone exterior chimney with clay chimney pots. The limestone on the house reputedly was salvaged when the Whitis Mansion on W. 27th Street was razed for the construction of the Scottish Rite Dormitory. The house has a primarily side-gabled roof with two prominent front-facing gables on either side of a central block, which contains a shed-roofed dormer. Fenestration in the house consists of 6:6 wood-frame windows in single, double, and triple configurations. There have been some additions and modifications to the house, all of which are in keeping with the original Tudor Revival style and articulation of the house, including the construction of a carport (1982), a pool and pool and pool house in the back yard (1987), enclosure of the rear porch (1992), stone hardscaping and the front wall and gates, and the installation of a slate roof in 2013. The bay …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: December 10, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The Mutual Building is one of the finest examples of Art Deco design in downtown Austin. It is a two-story rectangular-plan building with a white cream limestone façade articulated with many facets of the Art Deco style, including carved stone floral motifs, a band of waves, and a recessed entry flanked by a tall, narrow window on either side. PHONE: 974-6454 The Art Deco movement sprang from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Insustriels Modernes in Paris, France in 1925, and is characterized by simple shapes and geometric or stylized ornamentation, drawing inspiration from nature, Native American, Egyptian, and classical motifs. Art Deco was meant to incorporate art into architecture (and all of the other milieux of Art Deco expression, including furniture, home goods, lighting fixtures, jewelry, sculpture, statuary, and the visual arts), and to represent a sleek elegance that reflected modernism, wealth, and sophistication. New materials, such as stainless steel, bakelite, and other non-traditional building and decorative finishes found their way into Art Deco designs. The Art Deco façade of this building, designed by prominent local architect A.5 - 2 Hugo Kuehne in 1930, was for the new offices of a savings and home loan business, embodying the strength, stability, wealth, and refinement of the company during the troubled economic times of the Great Depression. The Art Deco façade of the building originally had a large, square, glass block bay on the second floor; the glass blocks were replaced with a bay window in 1981; an additional modification was the 2003 removal of the bay window and installation of a plate glass window in the opening, with anodized metal dividers to pay tribute …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.4 - 1 NOVEMBER 16, 2020 C14H-2006-0028 BENGSTON HOUSE 3803 AVENUE H PROPOSAL Revise previously approved plans for modifications to the house with the addition of a new dormer on the south roof, a small dormer on the north roof, and changing the rear roof from a hip to a gable. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the construction of a new shed dormer in the south-facing roof, the conversion of the rear hipped roof to a gabled roof, and the construction of a new shed-roofed clerestory dormer in the north roof of the house in order to increase the functionality of the attic space in accordance with the recommendations of the Hyde Park Historic District design standards. The proposed south-facing dormer is on the rear half of the house, and will be 15’- 8” wide and 10’-6” deep and will have siding to match the house and 1:1 fenestration. The proposed north dormer will be 11’-2” wide and 5’-7” deep. It will be 4’-3” tall and will have operable fenestration. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: The proposal is to expand the living space in the existing attic; no change of use is contemplated by this project. The proposal meets this standard. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: The addition of dormers to this house is in keeping with the original design of the house which had a dormer on the west roof. No distinctive materials or alterations of features, or spatial relationships will be adversely affected by this proposal. The proposal meets this standard. 3) Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. Evaluation: The design of the proposed dormer differs from the historic features existing on this house and will …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.5 - 1 NOVEMBER 16, 2020 C14H-1978-0038 PARAMOUNT THEATER 713 CONGRESS AVENUE Replace mortar on the exterior north wall of the theater pursuant to a Heritage Grant application. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS This application constitutes Phase II of a grant application previously approved by the Commission for repair and replacement of damaged mortar on the building. The instant application is for the north wall of the theater building; the prior approval was for the south wall. All other aspects of the project remain the same as the prior approval. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. Evaluation: The applicant proposes to match existing mortar in terms of color, texture, and formula. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Evaluation: The applicant proposes to match existing mortar in terms of color, formula, and texture. The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve as proposed. B.5 - 2 B.5 - 3 B.5 - 4 B.5 - 5 B.5 - 6
