. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Commission on Immigrant Affairs Recommendation Number: [20260706-005]: Inclusion of Infrastructure Equity and Medical Resilience in the Pilot Knob Library & Austin Resilience Network Project WHEREAS, the Pilot Knob area is experiencing a rapid influx of high-density data centers equipped with advanced power hardening, while surrounding legacy residential neighborhoods remain on an aging grid; and WHEREAS, data center industrialization creates voltage fluctuations that pose a high risk of motor failure for standard residential HVAC systems and life-saving medical equipment, such as oxygen concentrators, ventilators, and power chairs; and WHEREAS, the medically vulnerable and disabled community in surrounding Austin neighborhoods, particularly those located within historically underserved District 2, face disproportionate life-safety risks during localized outages, making standard "cooling centers" insufficient for their needs; and WHEREAS, the City must ensure that infrastructure improvements made for industrial growth are extended to residential circuits to prevent vulnerable residents from being left on a "second-class" grid. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Commission on Immigrant Affairs encourage the Austin City Council to formally include specific language and funding in the November 2026 Bond to ensure the Pilot Knob Library and Austin Resilience Network serves as a high capacity "Medical Triage Anchor". This includes scaling the facility for specialized medical plug-in capacity, coordinating with Austin Energy for residential grid hardening, and equipping the hub with industrial-grade redundant power systems to support medical devices.

Custody by ICE - Incidents where an individual was taken into custody by ICE. Information Gathering/Sharing- Instances where APD collected, exchanged, or verified information related to a subject, without direct enforcement action. Release per Immigration Instructions - Situations where no arrestable offense occurred and immigration officials indicated they would not be taking custody of the subject for an administrative immigration warrant at that time. …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Kalan Contreras, 512-974-2727 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, CANPAC (Central Austin Neigh Plan Area Committee), Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, North University Neighborhood Association, North University Neighborhood Association Development Review Committee, Preservation Austin DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The 2020 North University-Windsor-Hyde Park historic resource survey recommends the property as eligible for local landmark listing, individual listing on the National Register, and contributing to potential local and National Register historic districts. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of- a-kind building. The house at 400 W. 37th Street, constructed in 1912, is an excellent example of an early-20th-century Neoclassical bungalow. It is one story in height, with a hipped roof. Its symmetrical façade is composed of a central entrance bay flanked by matching 1/1 double-hung windows. It has a hipped dormer centered on the overarching roof and an inset full-façade front porch supported by four Doric order columns. According to applicant and architectural historian Terri Myers, its exceptional integrity of design, materials, setting, association and workmanship grant it a strong ability to convey an authentic sense of its own history as well as the early twentieth century context of Austin’s suburban expansion along the Guadalupe streetcar line north of the University of …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture, community value, and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Austin Lukes, 512-978-0766 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Overton Family Committee , Preservation Austin, Red Line Parkway Initiative, Residents of E 12th St, Rosewood Neighborhood Plan Contact Team DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey recommends the building as eligible for designation as a local landmark and individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as contributing to a potential local or National Register historic district. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. As a civic building in its park setting, Doris Miller Auditorium occupies a prominent location in the neighborhood and the larger East Austin context. Originally constructed in 1944, with ownership transferring to the city in 1946, it first served as a facility for returning Black service members during World War II. As a USO recreation center, the facility (named for U.S. Navy cook Doris Miller, originally from Waco, who served during the attack on Pearl Harbor, earning the distinction of being the first Black servicemember receive the Naval Cross for his heroism) hosted events, including dances, concerts, and other social events. Additionally, there were facilities provided for athletics and stage performances, making the auditorium …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness July 1, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 4 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on August 15, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Consider backup provided to determine need for total demolition versus opportunity for partial demolition or repair to the damaged existing structure. If more information or discussion is needed, postpone the public hearing to the August 5, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 4 – 2 Property Information Photos 4 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness July 1, 2026 HR-2026-036164 Hyde Park Local Historic District 304 West 42nd Street 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a contributing building and replace it with a new building. Project Specifications The proposed new building spans two lots and is oriented towards Avenue C rather than West 42nd Street. It is two stories in height, clad in horizontal lap siding with board and batten accents. The roof is composed of a series of compound gables and a shed-roof dormer at the southern elevation. A partial-width covered porch displays Craftsman-inspired proportions and triangular brackets at the 42nd Street elevation; similar brackets appear at gable ends on the Avenue C façade and at the westernmost carport elevation. Fenestration includes fixed, casement, and 1:1 windows interspersed throughout each elevation. Architecture 304 West 42nd Street is a ca. 1932 bungalow. It is one story in height, clad in horizontal wood siding, with simple massing and a side-gabled rectangular plan. A gabled garage abuts the easternmost elevation. Fenestration includes 1:1 wood windows. Exposed rafter tails are present at eaves and triangular brackets at gable ends. Design Standards The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1: Prevention of Demolition. Demolition of any contributing structure is strongly discouraged under all circumstances. The proposed project includes demolition of a contributing building. 5. Residential Standards: New Construction of Single-Family Structures 5.1: Massing, Scale, and Architectural Elements. Use massing, scale, and architectural elements typical of the contributing buildings on the block when designing a new building. The geometry of new house construction shall be in a scale with contributing buildings on the same block. When applying to Historic Landmark Commission, include photographs of all existing adjacent buildings and any other buildings on the block which have inspired design choices for the new construction. Proposed massing is more complicated than contributing buildings nearby, though the new building reflects historic-era gable forms. The building’s location, with the main entrance fronting Avenue C and the long secondary side along 42nd, is not consistent with the streetscape; however, the secondary entrance and gabled porch somewhat mitigate this. 5.3: Porches. Front porches on new construction are not necessary, but if present, they must be at least 7 feet deep. The proposed porch is approximately 5.25’ at the 42nd Street elevation …
