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.

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.
