1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION BRIEFING SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 Historic preservation is a tool to steward change. 2 Design standards provide a clear, objective way to evaluate proposed changes. DESIGN STANDARDS Historic districts 3 Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation 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. 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. 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. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 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. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: GO DISTRICT: 6 CASE: C14-2022-0204 (Gemini School of Visual Arts) ADDRESS: 12325 Hymeadow Drive, STE 3-100 ZONING FROM: I-SF-2 SITE AREA: 2995 sq. ft. PROPERTY OWNER: Joan Wang HWA Revocable Trust AGENT: Gemini School of Visual Arts and Communication (Colette Barcilon) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends GO, General Office District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 6, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 29, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 126 C14-2022-0204 2 ISSUES: The applicant is applying for zoning because TWC Career Schools and Colleges who approve them closed Gemini School of Visual Arts down over the summer because they did not have a Fire Certificate for the property. The school, which has been in existence for 21 years, is due to resume classes in early October so they need to have permanent zoning in place by the end of September so that they can acquire the fire certificate and reapply to TWC for reinstatement. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 2,995 sq. ft. suite within an existing office complex. The lots to the east are developed with office buildings. The tract to the west contains a day care use (Stepping Stone School). To the north, across Hymeadow Drive, there is public school (Westwood High School) and a multifamily use (The Lantern). To the south, there is a single-family residential neighborhood. The applicant is requesting GO zoning for the site to utilize a suite within the office complex for a College or University Facility or Business or Trade School use (Gemini School of Visual Arts). The staff recommends GO, General Office district, zoning for this footprint area because the property meets the intent of GO district as it fronts on/takes access to a Level 2 collector roadway, Hymeadow Drive, and will provide services to the surrounding community. There are existing professional and medical office uses located to the east and public school and day care services to north and west of the site under consideration. The applicant agrees with the staff recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. General Office district is intended for offices and selected commercial uses predominately serving community and city-wide needs. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The GO zoning district would be compatible and …
