To: City Council of Austin From: Urban Renewal Board Date: November 15, 2021 Subject: Land Use Regulations in the proposed Urban Renewal Plan and Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts The Urban Renewal Board (URB) engaged in a multiyear effort to update the Urban Renewal Plan (URP) and the East 11th and 12th Street Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs). The Board’s recommendations were formed with the assistance of consultants, staff, and community input. The URB refined the list of neighborhood-oriented and pedestrian-friendly land uses in the URP and NCCDs to support active streets that serve the community. In response to concerns from stakeholders about the reduction of uses allowed for some properties: The Board supports proposed regulations which continue to allow uses that are permitted or conditional under current regulations if they support the goals of the URP. The URB intended through the “save and except” provision in the proposed URP and NCCDs that the uses listed by address, including existing single family houses, remain legal and are not subject to non- conforming regulations. In response to legal concerns about this section, City staff is recommending the creation of a new permitted use, “conforming”, that will be defined as a use that conformed to the regulations in effect at the time the use was established and existed on the date of adoption of the proposed ordinance. The Board supports the most appropriate mechanism to reduce the impact of non-conforming regulations on existing legal uses outlined in the “save and except” provision. This may include but is not limited to, inclusion of the “conforming” land use or other adjustments to the land use charts. The URB does not plan to hold any additional meetings to specifically discuss proposed land use regulations and will defer to Council regarding any changes as reflected above.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 25, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) recommends this house as contributing to a potential local or National Register Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Chestnut Addition Neighborhood Assn. (C.A.N.A.), Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Chestnut Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation (CNRC), Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Neighbors United for Progress, Preservation Austin, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: One-story, rectangular-plan, hipped roof, frame transitional-style house with a partial-width inset porch with a segmental-arched bargeboard, raised rail, paired battered timber posts, A.3 -2 and boxed panel spandrels; replacement single 6:6 fenestration; central, hipped roof frame attic vent dormer. The building is a good example of a transitional house, a period representing a bridge between the Victorian styles known for their architectural ornamentation and the more reserved and smaller-scale bungalow styles of the 1920s. Transitional houses were generally taller than the later bungalows, but began to exhibit a lower form than the Victorians of the past; a slow move from verticality to horizontality. Although the windows have been replaced, the house reflects a high degree of integrity for its age, and is also unusual for its continuous ownership by a Black family in an era where a house like this would have likely started off with white owners. The house appears to have architectural significance. Historical Associations: According to Travis County real estate records, Mack Blocker purchased this property in the fall of 1914. The lot was across the street from his wife’s father’s property. He and his wife, the former Gertrude Parker, lived …

Quite often, these new homes are sold and turned into STR for tourists. Please consider recommending that 1601 Cedar Ave (PR‐2021‐139064) be designated historical, and worthy of saving from demolition. Thank you, Sarah Arvey ‐‐ ********************************* Sarah R.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS NOVEMBER 14, 2021 HR-2021-157034 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 3810 DUVAL STREET B.1 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct additions to a contributing house and noncontributing ADU. 1) Construct second-floor addition at south and west elevation, with dormers at north elevation. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding, composition roofing shingles, wood windows, and steel exterior stairs. 2) Add screened porch at west elevation and open porch at rear. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding and concrete porch and ramp, enclosed by a wood porch with metal screens. 3) Construct second-floor addition to existing ADU. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding, vinyl windows, and composition shingle roofing. ARCHITECTURE 1.5-story cross-gabled Craftsman bungalow with brick and stucco cladding, decorative bargeboards and gable ends, a partial-width porch with gabled roof, exposed rafter tails, and brick-clad piers. Fenestration includes single and mulled wood windows with decorative screens. The existing ADU is a one-story building with horizontal wood siding, a side- gabled roof with exposed rafter tails, and varying fenestration types. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4.1: Preservation of Historic Character. Construct additions so as to require the removal or modification of a minimum of historic fabric. Do not construct additions which will require the removal of any portion of the front façade. Design additions to existing residential buildings to reflect the form and style of the existing house. The proposed first-story rear addition requires removal of minimal historic fabric, while the second-floor addition removes a significant amount of existing roof material. It appears to incorporate an existing non-historic dormer addition. 4.2: Location. Locate new additions and alterations to the rear or rear side of the building so that they will be less visible from the street. While the proposed rear addition is appropriately sited, the second-floor addition is located atop the existing ridgeline at the main façade. The large staircase at the south elevation may also be visible from the street. 4.3: Roof, Fenestration, and Siding. 1. Make the pitch and height of the roof of the addition compatible to that of the existing house. 2. Make windows visible from the street on any addition compatible with those on the existing house in terms of sash configuration, proportion, spacing and placement. 3. Use exterior siding materials on …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 HR-2021-168400 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 504 LELAND STREET C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 house and construct new house on its site. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing contributing building and construct a new house. The proposed building is two stories in height, with a compound gabled roof clad in composition shingles, horizontal fiber cement siding and fiber cement shingle siding, a front- facing garage, and single and mulled 2:2 windows. Exposed rafter tails accent the eaves. One-story, rectangular-plan frame bungalow with a partial-width, front-gabled independent porch; single and double 1:1 fenestration with 3:1 wood screens. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house was built around 1931 as a rental property and had a remarkable turnover in tenants until the mid-1940s, when it was purchased by Cecil and Artie Bowden, who lived here until around 1948. He was a driver for the Firestone Test Fleet. From the late 1940s until the mid-1950s, the house was owned and occupied by a captain for the Austin Fire Department and his wife, as well as a salesman for Yaring’s, a ladies’ department store; the salesman is listed singly here in the 1958 city directory. The house had more renters in the 1960s and early 1970s. It was purchased by computer operator Michael Asthalter and his wife Kristin in the mid-1980s. 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 in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building is set approximately 34’ back from the street. The existing house appears to have a shallower setback than the proposed new building. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward Leland Street. It features an integral front-loading garage, which is inconsistent with the garage patterns in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height While there are no adjacent contributing properties, most of the contributing buildings elsewhere on the block are one story in height, with simple massing. The proposed building is two stories, with more complex massing. Its front porch is appropriately stepped down, which helps to minimize its height. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are somewhat compatible with the surrounding district, as its use of stepdowns help to minimize its …

D.2 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-2021-151456 3506 DUVAL STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a ca. 1934 house and construct a second-story and rear addition. Enlarge the house to the rear. 2) Reopen screened front porch. 3) Replace existing horizontal siding with fiber-cement siding. 4) Replace existing windows with new aluminum-clad wood windows. 5) Install a new composition shingle roof. ARCHITECTURE 1) Enlarge the habitable second story by increasing the height of front- and side-facing gables (east and south elevations). One-and-one-half-story, cross-gabled bungalow with Tudor Revival stylistic influences. Most of the house is clad in horizontal wood siding. The partial-width porch has a wood-clad gable supported by brick piers, with an inset gabled brick frontispiece with an arched opening. The porch has been screened in. Windows are single or groupings of up to three 1:1 sash. It appears that all windows were previously replaced with vinyl sash, though most windows are concealed by dark screens. The house has one-story rear additions and infill at a side elevation. RESEARCH The house at 3506 Duval St. was designed by acclaimed architect Roy Thomas for Dr. C. M. Montgomery, and original plans for the residence are part of the Roy L. Thomas collection at the Alexander Architectural Archives. This 1934 house may have replaced or enlarged an earlier residence on the lot. City directories list it as the home of Clifford M. and Myra Montgomery beginning in 1932, and water and sewer permits were issued to Dr. Montgomery in 1930. Dr. Clifford Montgomery (1891–1947) was a professor of Romance languages at the University of Texas beginning in 1920. His specialization was in Spanish literature. Myra Montgomery (1891–1976) was superintendent of the children’s division of the University Methodist Church for 15 years and taught at St. Elmo and Maplewood elementary schools. She served as president of the Austin Classroom Teachers Association from 1952 through 1954 and as the organization’s parliamentarian in 1961. 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 potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 4. Exterior walls and trim Standard 4.1 calls for repair rather than replacement of historic wall materials. The project entails replacement of existing siding across the house and addition. 5. Windows, …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Mary Ingle Friday, October 22, 2021 2:32 PM PAZ Preservation Allen, Amber GF21-157165 - 3506 Duval ST *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern: I object to the partial demolition permit at 3506 Duval ST. A partial demolition is a joke‐ this is a demolition. There has been no direction given to the applicant about how this house could be readapted or remodeled to be a contributing structure in a potential LHD. Sometime ago, the Grooms Addition (the subdivision in which this property resides) shelved their efforts with the History Library with an extensive file of preservation work towards a LHD. We needed help with the property owner signatures‐ the City refused to help us. We are an older subdivision in Austin which was mostly platted in 1880‐1890. This house at 3506 Duval was built in 1927 (similar brick to my house at 3406 Duval which was finished in 1929). It would be better to have completed plans to look at before weighing in on this remodel/partial demolition. We are losing too many structures which could be potentially contributing or restored to contributing structures. It is a shame that Austin does not embrace preservation in a meaningful way for our older neighborhoods. Mary Ingle CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
