. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Austin Travis County Public Health Commission Recommendation Number: [YYYYMMDD-XXX] Bridging Public Health Funding: This recommendation seeks to address the public health inequities exacerbated by the construction of Interstate 35, which divided communities and reenforced segregation. With public health funding at risk across the country, we recommend that a portion of tax revenues generated from businesses and activities on Cap and Stitch elements be dedicated to Austin Public Health to address the direct and indirect health inequities caused by Interstate 35. WHEREAS the City of Austin 1928 Master Plan designated then East Avenue as the dividing racial line between East and West Austin. WHEREAS Interstate 35 later replaced East Avenue, serving as a reinforced physical barrier between East and West Austin.

WHEREAS Interstate 35 creates chronic stressors such as traffic noise, heat, and pollution, leading to poor mental health and stress of those living nearby. WHEREAS City Council has touted Cap and Stitch as a once in a generation opportunity to repair the physical divide created by Interstate 35 and assist in repairing over 100 years of segregation. WHEREAS City Council has welcomed the creation of new public spaces for civic participation and unlocking long-term economic and community benefits, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Austin Travis County Public Health Commission recommends that City Council: Reserve and dedicate a percentage of tax revenues generated from businesses and activities that take place on the Cap and Stitch elements of Interstate 35 to a public health fund to be used by Austin Public Health to intentionally address the various health inequities that Interstate 35 has directly and subsequently inflicted upon the residents of Austin, specifically in East Austin and other areas where East Austin residents have been pushed to. These dedicated funds generated from a once in a generation opportunity that aims to repair the harm created by the interstate are a concrete action that . City Council can take to ensure steps are made to truly address these health inequities while also providing a sustainable funding source for Austin Public Health.

esb-macc latino arts residency program -------------------------------- Briefing by past participants on their experience with the macc’s residency program from 2008-2021 Advisory Board Sponsors: Navarro, Zamarripa-Saenz Presenters: Dr. Róen Salinas | Aztlan Dance Company Luis Ordaz Gutiérrez | ProyectoTEATRO Hector Ordaz Gutiérrez | ProyectoTEATRO Javier Jara | Los Bohemios Perdidos Juan Oyervides | Past MACC Advisory Board Chair 2008 grand opening & the first years A phase of trial and error driven by community feedback • Difficulty for artists and arts organizations to access the MACC for rehearsals, performances, and classes. Rental rates too expensive for community artists. High rates comparable to private event spaces for quinces and galas . • Operating hours were the same as city recreation centers; closing at 5PM during the week and 6PM on Saturdays. Closed on Sundays. • Staff aggressions towards community artists. The community spoke out and these issues catalyzed the creation of the LARP program. 2 Latino arts residency program larp The following 4 arts organizations led the inaugural 2013 LARP cohort 3 larp Feedback & Recommendations Inaugural cohort shared these recommendations to improve LARP: MACC Facility: Most spaces at the MACC were not appropriate for artists’ creative process nor performances. It was evident that artists’ were not part of the design and build-out of any of the rooms throughout the cultural center. Remodeling recommendations were made to 5 spaces. Policies and Procedures: Operation procedures hindered the standard creative process of arts organizations. LARP programs clashed with ESB-MACC programs. Calendar process was implemented by LARPers. Hours of Operation did not align with a cultural center. Rehearsal hours were granted till 10PM and Performance nights were granted till 11PM.

Coalition for Austin’s Arts and Spanish- Language Theatre From Access to Incubation Strengthening LAAP to Support Emerging Artists A partnership between the ESB-MACC and CAAST Who We Are Coalition of Spanish-language performing artists and companies Active in Austin for 20+ years, with local and national recognition Focused on aligning existing City infrastructure to better support artists Coalition for Austin’s Arts & Spanish-language Theatre Why LAAP Must Evolve Current realityLAAP has expanded access to MACC facilities for Latino artistsThe program has been intentionally designed as a space-access model,supported by technical assistance, professional development, and staff support.LAAP artists have gone on to contracts, funding opportunities, rentals, and Citypartnerships.Core insightLAAP has laid a strong foundation; but evolving into an incubator requires sustainedcapacity to deliver consistent, repeatable outcomes for artists. The Gap We’re Addressing The level of hands-on support can vary by project and timing due to limited staffing capacity. Outcomes vary across cohorts based on artist readiness and available staff support. Sustained progress is not experienced consistently from project to project. What It Takes to Do This Right To move LAAP from access to true incubation, investment must address three things simultaneously: 1. People 2. Infrastructure 3. Program capacity. Funding only one or two elements would perpetuate the current gap rather than resolve it. Our proposal calls for an additional annual $515,000 investment, which represents the minimum level required to deliver consistent production readiness, artist empowerment, and language equity as a cohesive system.

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 O.H. and Thelma Mitchell Elliott House, built in 1954, clearly embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style. Built by carpenter and contractor Arthur Parks, it is an intact example of the Ranch style, one of the most popular and enduring architectural styles for residential buildings in American history. It also provides a window into the development of East Austin during the 1950s: as an exemplar of up-and-coming stylistic trends in a historically segregated part of East Austin, the home’s contemporary design demonstrates that, in spite of the systemic inequalities in land use and services rampant in segregation-era Austin, new neighborhoods marketed to Black professionals still found forward-looking buyers at midcentury. Historian and applicant Terri Myers describes the home’s setting and physical …
F.3, F.4, F.6, F.9 – Historical Documentation O. H. and Thelma Elliott House – 2207 E. 22nd Street, Austin, TX 78722-2115 The O.H. and Thelma Elliott House at 2207 E. 22nd Street meets the standards as an Austin Historic Landmark in two of the five criteria for significance: Architecture and Historical Associations. Built in 1954, the early Ranch Style house is more than 50 years old and reflects the historic period and architectural trends in which it was built and achieved significance. The house clearly embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style (Ranch). It retains a high degree of the seven aspects of historic and architectural integrity set out by the National Register of Historic Places in Bulletin 16 (integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association). More importantly, the house is associated with husband and wife, O. H. and Thelma Elliott, a “power couple” of segregated East Austin who were at the forefront of Civil Rights-era political and educational movements and Great Society programs in the city from the 1940s through the 1970s. The designation criteria for significance is fully addressed and supported in the following narratives. Criterion: Architecture Architectural Description Construction: The 2200 block of E. 22nd Street was not developed until after World War II. In 1952, Brown and Root Construction, Inc. opened and paved the previously closed street between Coleto and Chestnut Streets; development in the block commenced soon afterward. In December 1954, realtor Andy Anderson placed an advertisement in the Austin American newspaper for an “Open House.” The ad was specifically geared to attract “Colored” people as noted in the announcement. The ad described the house as a “lovely frame and cutstone home at 2207 E. 22nd Street, 3 bedrooms, 2 all tile bathrooms, hardwood floors, car port, den.” The 1,700 square foot Ranch style house in this newly-opened section of East Austin was a modern departure from the early twentieth century bungalows, shotgun houses, and “classical box” houses in the so-called “Colored District” south of Manor Road. Anderson added Arthur Park’s name as the contractor in the notice, an indication that his work was known and respected. Arthur Parks was a carpenter and contractor who worked in Austin from c. 1949 through the 1970s. He appears to have been well-known in East Austin; his work on the Mid-century Modern house for Mr. and Mrs. John King at 2400 Givens Avenue …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness February 4, 2026 HR-2025-158169 Confederate Woman’s Home 3710 Cedar Street 5 – 1 Proposal Construct two courtyard additions at a City of Austin landmark. Project Specifications 1) At the interior courtyard, construct a two-story addition behind the main structure of the Confederate Women’s Home. 2) Construct a rear addition at the rear, Home Lane facing service structure. 3) Replace windows as required due to failure or deterioration. 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 historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards General repairs are proposed at the original buildings, with some exploration at areas where original material may have been lost or covered. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Windows are not original and are proposed to be replaced with fixtures that are intended to perform better for the proposed apartment use. Residential additions 1. Location This application calls for three additions, two attached to the main residence structure facing Cedar Street and one attached to the former service building facing Home Lane. All of these are to be located at the rear of their respective buildings, toward the center courtyard area, though without entirely filling in that area. While the site is very narrow, and these additions will be visible from the street opposite from the side the original buildings front, the selected locations are as minimally invasive as can be achieved. 2. Scale, massing, and height All additions are two stories in height (though the second floor is minimal at the addition attached to the former service structure) but are kept at or below the full height of the historic structures. Though they do add a large area to the building footprint, their scale and massing defers to the original building size well. The overall building shape is largely maintained due to this massing and the location at which they are proposed. 3. Design and style The original structures at the site appear to have been made using decorative, though not high end, materials at the front porch, with utilitarian materials at the side and rear. The proposed fenestration patterns, cladding materials, and overall form of the additions complement this design well and will neither appear too ornamental nor too …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts February 4, 2026 PR-2025-103903 Old West Austin National Register Historic District 1513 Murray Lane 7 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1927 contributing building. No new construction is proposed for the vacant lot; it will function as open space per applicant. ARCHITECTURE Two-story stucco building with irregular roofline and fenestration. Its covered porch still displays Craftsman detailing, though the building has been altered. RESEARCH The house at 1513 Murray Lane, originally addressed as 1313 Murray Lane, was constructed around 1927. Though it was home to several prominent Austin businesspeople, including Edgar Perry, Jr. and Marjorie Wendlandt, most of its owners resided in the home for only a short time. Its longest-term owner-occupant, Mrs. Emilie Ebeling, was the daughter of New Braunfels mayor Adolph Giesecke. She moved to Austin after the death of her husband, Marble Falls banker and farmer Otto Ebeling. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. Significant alterations were constructed between 2008 and 2012. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a Craftsman bungalow but has been too altered to convey significance. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts February 4, 2026 HR-2025-145729 Zilker Park National Register Historic District 2100 Barton Springs Road 8 – 1 Proposal Construct a new bridge in place of the existing contributing bridge. Reconstruct trails. Restore stream bank. Project Specifications The proposed new bridge will replace the existing 1925/1946 Barton Creek bridge at Barton Springs Road and Azie Morton Road. Extreme deterioration and deferred maintenance necessitate bridge removal, with structural elements’ degradation beyond repair and safety concerns, including flood control and pedestrian safety issues, driving Council approval in 2023. The selected design appears to be the most compatible of three options. Proposed materials will match the existing bridge’s concrete and asphalt construction. The proposed bridge utilizes a set of arched piers, reflective of the existing bridge’s design, oriented transverse to the superstructure of the bridge. This orientation provides a maximum amount of visibility through the bridge. The abutment at the park side has been pushed back to create open space accommodating the park train and pedestrian path. The handrail on the park side of the bridge utilizes a robust steel design with heavy concrete pilasters that pay homage to the existing bridge and divert debris during flood events. The bridge has been widened to accommodate two lanes of traffic, planters, and seating with shade devices on either side. Streetscape elements have been selected to blend with the bridge’s surroundings and will be minimally visible above the handrail. Proposed lighting is simple in design. The proposed stream bank and pedestrian pathways are supported by ashlar masonry and stone veneer retaining walls. 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: Sites and streetscapes 1. Vegetation, topography, and landscaping 1.1 Do not grade, fill, or excavate unless it is to solve a drainage or flooding problem. 1.2 Retain permanent landscape features that define the character of the property and the district. Protect them when constructing new buildings or additions. The proposed project slightly changes the topography surrounding the bridge to alleviate flooding and allow for pedestrian use of the surrounding bank. No additional character-defining landscape features appear to be affected at this phase of the project. Changes to character-defining landscape features will require additional HLC review. …

The bridge was widened to its current form in 1946, which includes two traffic lanes in each direction. The bridge also features narrow sidewalks along each side, guard rails and a sidewalk underneath. While the existing bridge is structurally in fair condition, many of its features are functionally obsolete and it requires replacement to ensure safety and longevity. Given that the existing bridge present mobility challenges for vehicles, bikes and pedestrians, this project will provide needed mobility enhancements for all users. Intersection improvements to nearby Barton Springs Road and Azie Morton Drive are necessary as part of this project. In November 2020, Austin voters approved $102 million for major infrastructure projects, with the possibility of allocating a portion of that funding to address the Barton Springs Road Bridge. In December 2023, Austin City Council officially recommended replacing the bridge and advanced the project to the design phase. The City of Austin received a $32 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation in November 2024 to help fund construction of the new bridge. 4 AECOMPrepared for The City of Austin Longitudinal Beam - Exposed Rebar Spandrel Column - Spalling 01 / Introduction Condition Assessment • Deck (with integral longitudinal joint), floor beams, and spandrel columns exhibited the most degradation. • All structural components exhibited some degradation. • Rehabilitation for increased service life would need to remove deck, floor beams, and spandrel columns, stripping structure to arch ribs as a starting point. • These results remove Rehabilitation Option 1 as feasible alternative since that option was the “low-impact”, “preserve-structure” option. • Based on the above, we are now focused on Rehabilitation Option 2 and on potential bridge replacement options. 5 Longitudinal Beam - Exposed Rebar …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts February 4, 2026 HR-2026-004703 Old West Austin Historic District 702 Winflo Drive 9 – 1 Proposal Construct a new residence at a property with a previously approved demolition. Research The house was owned and occupied by members of the Hamby family, who were related to the owners of the Hoffbrau, and worked as managers and bartenders in the 1950s. The first of this family to occupy the property were Robert & Mary Hamby, with Tom Hamby listed as owner by the 1960s. By the 1970s, Robert and Tom were listed as owners of the Hoffbrau in local papers. 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 Setback is in keeping with neighboring contributing properties. 2. Orientation New construction is oriented towards the street, like other contributing structures in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height Proposed design reads as a single-family house, similar to the majority of the district. However, the inclusion of a second story raises the overall height to around 28 feet. While there are other examples of contributing properties that are two stories, they are uncommon. The overall width of the house is in keeping with neighboring properties. 4. Proportions This portion of the historic district features uneven elevation and some of the most disparate house forms. To that end, the proportions of this proposed design do fit within this context, even if it would appear slightly out of place in other parts of the district. 5. Design and style Proposed design is distinct from any historic form in the district. The modern design does not create a false sense of historicism, nor does it borrow from any historic styles that appear out of place. Though the design reads as different from neighboring contributing properties, it does not overwhelm the streetscape and meets Standard 5.3. 6. Roofs A flat roof is proposed, which is distinct from its direct neighbors. However, there are contributing properties to the district that make use of flat roofs, making this proposal not entriely out of place. 7. Exterior walls Proposed exterior walls are to be clad in brick and stucco. Both of these materials …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts February 4, 2026 HR-2026-005116; PR-2026-005660 Old West Austin Historic District 3102 Glenview Avenue 10 – 1 Proposal Construct a side addition at a contributing property. Project Specifications 1) Replace windows and front door at original house, repair exterior as needed. 2) Construct an addition at the side of the house, towards the rear. Addition is proposed to be two-stories and will serve as a second housing unit. Architecture A two-story residence constructed in the Colonial Revival style, the house at 3102 Glenview Avenue features a front porch that extends the width of the entire front elevation, with a sloping pitched roof above supported by four columns. There are two large dormers above, which feature paired windows that match the locations and sizes of windows on the first floor. A box chimney is present at one side, but otherwise the building is largely symmetrical. Research After its construction around 1938, the house was occupied by several short term owners and renters. Some had connections to the University of Texas, but others were professionals in state agencies or medical practitioners. Even with the high turnover of occupants, the building appears to have been continuously occupied, except for a brief period during World War II when it was vacant. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards With the exception of widnows and doors described below, the exterior walls of the original house will be retained. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Windows on the original house are all proposed to be replaced. It is understood that these existing units are not original and have been replaced at some point in the past. Proposed units at the front elevation appear to generally match those existing and are not inappropriate for the district. The existing French door system at the main entry is not original and is to be replaced with a single door along with two floor-to-ceiling side lites. Though the side lites are large, they are also not out of place given the overall size of the porch and front elevation. A skylight is also proposed at the second floor roof of the front …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits February 4, 2026 PR-2026-004010 1603 Canterbury Street 11 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1909 building. Architecture This house has an L-shaped layout with a front porch extending across the larger ell facing Canterbury Street. There are numerous elements of the original Folk Victorian design that remain intact, including the wood porch supports, the shingle pattern at the front facing gable, and the board and batten siding. The house is elevated on piers and features a moderately pitched roof. Research From its construction around 1909 until 1922, the property was occupied by a series of renters, the most tenured of which were Wade & Marie Stubbs. Wade Stubbs worked as a driver in various roles before being listed as a solicitor. From 1924 through at least 1959, the Dyer family owned the property. Willard Dyer, later with his wife Bernice and their two children, lived at the address while he was employed at the Austin American-Statesman as a typesetter and later a machinist. Department Comments This application will time out on April 20th, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as a contributing resource to a potential national or local historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a well preserved, intact example of Folk Victorian architecture. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. Staff Recommendation Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, relocation, or deconstruction and salvage over demolition, but approve the demolition permit application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.
