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.

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.

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 Program Structure We Are Here 6 2 0 2 y l u J Final Report Survey & Focus Group Housing & Planning Committee (cancelled) 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 …

Sturgill, Hunter From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Commissioners: Bill W < Sunday, May 31, 2026 5:31 PM Historic Preservation Office 3304 Oakmont Blvd. PR-2026-053766, HR 2026-059342 External Email - Exercise Caution The Historic Review Committee of the Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association has reviewed the applicant’s plans to add a rear addition and remodel the front porch and add a carport at this property. The current home was built in 1947 and is a Contributing Property to the Old West Austin Historic District, which we consider to be of importance. The members of our HLC committee have no problem with the addition to the rear of the property, but are concerned that the remodel of the front porch, change in window and carport will substantially change the front of the home and will remove it from being a Contributing Property of the OWAHD. If this is the case, we are wondering if the Commission and the property owners might consider making changes to the front which would allow the home to remain a Contributing Property. Overall, the modifications indicate that the owners just need a little more room in their home and we are glad they are willing to remodel and stay in Bryker Woods, rather than sell and/or demo the house! We very much value our neighbors and are always grateful when then keep and just remodel their homes. Thank you for your consideration. --Bill Woods, Chair Historic Review Committee Bryker Woods NA Living on Earth is expensive but it does include a free trip around the Sun.

June 3, 2026 RE: 1808 East Cesar Chavez Street Demolition Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Evans, and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to request that the Historic Landmark Commission initiate historic zoning for 1808 East Cesar Chavez Street for its architecture, historic associations, and community value. This property stands as a unique example of two-story vernacular double pen architecture, one of the few remaining examples of this style in East Austin, as noted by the staff report. Since it was built, the property has been home to a string of neighborhood service businesses, including a beauty parlor, a barber shop, and shoe repair. Until recently, the building maintained continuous occupancy, and served as a reliable anchor on this corner of East Austin. But even more importantly, it stands as a landmark of the cultural memory of East Cesar Chavez that is rapidly vanishing. Once a lively commercial corridor of businesses owned by Austin’s Black and Mexican American communities is today the site of willful neglect and poor stewardship. What survives of this memory deserves protection. The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey found 1808 East Cesar Chavez Street eligible for designation as a City of Austin Landmark, as well as contributing to a potential local or National Register historic district. Designation would unlock a host of financial opportunities for a preservation-minded property owner to rehabilitate the property, including state and federal tax credits worth up to 45% of qualifying expenses; local property tax incentives; and a host of grant programs, including our own, that support preservation work. There is so much potential to breathe new life into this once-vibrant corridor that demolition for a vacant lot would completely extinguish. We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to recognize the significance of this site and the potential it holds for the future of East Cesar Chavez. Thank you for your consideration and your service to the City of Austin. Sincerely, Miriam Conner, President

OWANA recognizes the importance of preserving contributing structures within the historic district, as the cumulative loss of these buildings could ultimately threaten the district’s historic designation and character. Based on our understanding, both structures appear to be in sound condition. Accordingly, OWANA strongly encourages the applicant to make a good-faith effort to preserve these resources through relocation and to provide financial assistance for reasonable relocation-related expenses. Through its ongoing engagement with residents and preservation stakeholders, OWANA will help raise awareness of opportunities and resources that may support the successful relocation of these structures. OWANA is also concerned about the potential impact of redevelopment on established local businesses that contribute to the fabric of the neighborhood. In particular, OWANA strongly supports the preservation and continued success of Better Half, which has become an important community gathering place and neighborhood amenity. Long-standing local businesses such as Better Half help foster community connections, contribute to the unique character of Old West Austin, and enhance the vitality of the district. OWANA remains committed to working collaboratively with the applicant on the proposed development. As the project advances, we will advocate for building materials, architectural elements, and site design features that are compatible with and sensitive to the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Preserving and strengthening the integrity of our National Historic District, while supporting the local businesses that help define our community, remains a core priority for OWANA. We believe thoughtful development, historic preservation, and neighborhood-serving businesses can successfully coexist and thrive together. Sincerely, Stephen L.

Bond Election Advisory Task Force Final Recommendation Dave Sullivan BEATF member Environmental Commission, June 3, 2026 BEATF History • City Council Resolution No. 20240718-093 directed the City Manager to prepare and present a comprehensive bond package for a bond election no later than November 2026. • Bond Election Advisory Task Force (BEATF) was designated by City Council Resolution 20240829-138 to suggest projects for consideration for a comprehensive general obligation (GO) bond election. • 22 members, each Council member appointing 2 members. • GO bonds pay for capital projects – buildings, roads, land purchase, parks, sidewalks, stormwater controls, etc., not operations and maintenance. BEATF History • BEATF met twice a month (generally) and created 6 work groups to consider potential bond items: • Community Engagement • Stormwater/Watershed Protection • Parkland and Open Space • Affordable Housing • Facilities and Assets (Libraries, Rec Centers, etc.) • Transportations and Electrification • City staff presented a list of $3.9 billion worth of city capital needs. BEATF History • A City Council “sub-quorum” suggested a smaller ~$375M to $400M bond package, and the BEATF obliged. This smaller package included $250M-$260M for Parks & Open Space, $50M-$60M for Facilities & Assets, and $70M-$80M for Transportation. • From our Community Engagement WG research, Housing and Transportation are the top priorities. Across all engagement methods, these categories emerged as the most consistent and widely supported, with additional support for quality-of-life investments such as parks, recreation, and community facilities. • City staff has proposed postponing the GO Bond election from Nov. 2026 to Nov. 2028. In 2028 we would have a larger number of voters, and debt from earlier bond elections paid off. $200M $147M $175M $113.4M $131M Watershed / Stormwater projects Stormwater$MOpen Space Acquisition12Small Scale Stormwater & Drainage Asset Management9Stormwater & Drainage Partnership Opportunities14Stormwater Resilience Program3Tannehill Creek - Bartholomew Park Stormwater Treatment Retrofit1.4Walnut Creek - North Acres Storm Drain4Tannehill Creek - Morris Williams Stormwater Improvements8.5Boggy Creek - Kealing Park Green Infrastructure Program1.3Walnut Creek - McNeil Dr Low Water Crossing Improvements1.5Colorado River - CAPEX Water Quality Control21.65Williamson Creek - Brassiewood Dr. Ph 3 Neighborhood Stormdrain Improvements20Boggy Creek - MLK TOD Stormwater Conveyance Improvements Ph 31.5Waller Creek - Guadalupe St Flood Risk Reduction Project Ph 1-315.575Total113.425 Well, we proposed a little more than $750M • City staff’s recommendation reflected a different set of priorities than those used by the BEATF, and proposed $0 for Affordable Housing, • $251M for Transportation …

. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Commission For Women Recommendation Number: [YYYYMMDD-XXX]: Recommendation to the Austin City Council for the allocation of funding to Communities In Schools of Central Texas to support programs enhancing the academic and personal success of young girls in the Austin Independent School District. WHEREAS, the City of Austin Commission for Women is tasked with advising the City Council on issues affecting the economic security, health, and well-being of women and girls in our community; and WHEREAS, research, including the recently released Harvard Impact Study, demonstrates that personalized, integrated student supports lead to stronger academic outcomes, higher lifetime earnings, and increased local tax contributions; and WHEREAS, young girls in Central Texas, particularly those from under-resourced backgrounds, face unique barriers to education including lack of access to mental health services, basic needs, and mentorship; and WHEREAS, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Central Texas provides a proven “ecosystem of support” by placing dedicated program managers directly on campuses to provide case management, crisis intervention, and academic guidance; and WHEREAS, the support provided by CIS has been shown to empower young girls by improving attendance, graduation rates, and self-efficacy, thereby reducing their long-term involvement with public assistance systems; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin is committed to a Racial Equity Plan that seeks to eliminate disparities in outcomes for all residents, with education being a primary driver of such equity. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Commission recommends the Austin City Council allocate funding—specifically as part of the Social Services budget—to Communities In Schools of Central Texas to sustain and expand its campus-based services. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funding be prioritized for Communities In Schools of Central Texas ensuring they have the mental health and academic resources necessary to achieve economic independence and long-term success.
