Frequently Asked Questions This FAQ sheet is intended to provide a brief orientation to the Historic Design Standards. Please contact preservation@austintexas.gov if you have further questions. 1 Why were the Historic Design Standards I own a property in a locally designated historic developed? Don’t we already have standards for district. How will the Historic Design Standards 3 historic properties? affect me? The Historic Design Standards were developed to clarify existing standards for historic landmarks and National Register districts. They will also make the historic district application process easier and more equitable for new districts. The Historic Design Standards will not affect previously agreed-upon design standards for existing historic districts. They do align with existing district design standards and may be adopted by property owners within each district if desired. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation form the foundation of preservation practice in the United States and are used in Austin to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks and in National Register districts. However, these very general standards can be hard to interpret when planning and evaluating specific projects. The Historic Design Standards clarify them with more specific good practices and illustrations. Right now, community members compiling a historic district application must hire a consultant or learn how to develop their own design standards. Then multiple rounds of review are required with other property owners and City staff. This adds time and cost to the application process—and results in design standards that are nearly identical to those for other districts. The Historic Design Standards will provide a consistent, predictable set of standards for all areas considering historic district designation. I own a historic landmark. How will the Historic 2 Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing standards for exterior changes to historic landmarks, as well as new construction on landmarked properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the standards that City staff and the Historic Landmark Commission already use to evaluate projects. However, they are clearer, more specific, and easier to use. No process changes are proposed. 4 I own a property in a National Register district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing guidelines for National Register district properties.

Heritage Hills/Windsor Hills Neighborhood Plan Contact Team Austin, Texas 78753 October 20, 2022 Hi Maureen, This is a letter concerning NPA and zoning case (NPA-2022-0028.02 and C14-2022-008) and the property on Jonwood Way. There are two neighborhoods that will be directly impacted. From meetings I attended, there are concerns about the rezoning. • Both neighborhoods would prefer to see fewer houses in the current greenspace. Currently this • • greenspace hosts an abundance of wildlife, many resettled from the developments on the east side of Dessau. Parkland dedication. Everyone appreciates the parkland dedication of this parcel prior to zoning approval. However, we the neighbors would like this land kept as a wild place, with no park improvements. There is a lack of visibility for the entire development. (Figure 1) This zoning request is being made so that this lot can be included in the 30-unit build planned for the adjacent lot. We have not been presented with an overall plan, and have several related requests/concerns: o Can we have confirmation that construction will not cause future flooding to neighbors adjacent to the property? o The developers promised a vegetative barrier will be installed between the properties on Jonwood and the new housing development. We would like commitment on that. o The developers promised to build the primary entrance to the site on Dessau, particularly during the construction phase. We would like commitment on that. o Could the parkland dedication be extended to the adjacent property as well to protect the entire creek (Figure 2). We appreciate that the developers worked hard to meet with the neighborhood leaders. However, it would be good to understand how the entire planned development will impact the neighborhood. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Thank you, Gina Rosenthal HHWH Contact Team Member 9405 Dallum Drive 512.850.9769 Figure 1: Adjacent Parcel Figure 2: Adjacent Parcel Parkland Request

Meredith, Maureen To: Subject: Barbara Mink RE: Case Number: NPA-2022-0028.02 From: Barbara Mink Sent: Monday, October 24, 2022 4:54 PM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Subject: Fw: Case Number: NPA‐2022‐0028.02 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Case Number: NPA‐2022‐0028.02 Contact: Maureen Meredith Public Hearing: October 25, 2022 Planning Commission My name: Barbara P. Mink Address affected: 1208 Somerset Ave. Austin 78753 Daytime phone number: 512‐415‐4090 Date: October 24, 2022 Comments: I object to this amendment My property is directly across the creek from the proposed project. We had the developers out recently to our neighborhood association meeting. They did not present information on any details of this project. They just want the re‐zoning and then then they said they would tell the neighbors any details about what they intend to build there. The presentation was basically a “trust us, it will be lovely” approach. We have gotten differing information as to the number of units, whether they will be for purchase, for long term rental or short‐term rental, etc. “They will be lovely” is all the developers say. LOTS more details are needed. Legally they cannot build within a certain distance from the center of the creek. But they provided no information about how they intend to protect the creek and not have contamination of the creek. That creek and the areas around the creek have a stand of huge trees and has been the natural habitat for generations for owls, hawks, possums, armadillos, coyotes, foxes and many song birds. The developers say that the area along the creek will be ‘parkland’ without any details of how they intend to leave this natural area as the wildlife refuge it has been for generations. They seem to be using a loophole… they have to designate a certain portion of their land as ‘parkland’, so they are just saying that their ‘parkland’ will just be the area where they cannot build anyway. 1 Neighbors on this side of the creek have dealt with folks walking through our property to get to the wooded area and the creek. We have had to watch our children in our own backyards because of others trying to get to the property across the creek. If the area across the creek now becomes ‘parkland’, the amount of folks from outside the immediate neighborhood seeking access to this area will only increase. The developers need to be much …
