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 property at 3311 Lafayette Avenue is a good example of a vernacular building type showcasing the transition between more formal stylistic choices of the nineteenth century to the unique Austin interpretation of the National Folk and Craftsman bungalows of the early twentieth century. Furthermore, the house’s twin—now located on East 46th Street—has already been recognized for its architectural significance; the house at 3311 Lafayette Avenue remains markedly more intact. “Architecturally,” remarks author Steve Wilson in his home’s historic zoning application, “this house is a distinctive and well-preserved missing link in the development of the bungalow style in Austin. It’s an invaluable key to understanding how the form supplanted the traditional Victorian in …
City of Austin - Historic Preservation Office Historic Zoning Application Packet General Overview Historic zoning is a zoning overlay which is added to the base zoning of a specific tract of land (for example CBD-H denotes Central Business District-Historic Zoning). To qualify for City Historic Landmark status, a property must meet one or more (but typically five or more) of the local historic criteria (see criteria below). Applicants need to submit historical documentation demonstrating how the property meets these criteria (see attached submittal requirements). The City Historic Landmark Commission reviews all applications for City Historic Landmark designation, with the Austin City Council making final decisions on these designations. Please note that at least (3) months is typically required to process a City Historic Landmark designation through the City Council from the time a complete application is received. Once designated, all proposed exterior site and building changes (other than routine maintenance) to a historically zoned tract require advance review and approval by the City Historic Landmark Commission. A copy of the Historic Landmark Commission's review standards is available from the City Historic Preservation Office. City Historic Landmark properties that are in good repair and in full compliance with the City historic review requirements are eligible to apply annually for a historic property tax exemption. For information on the historic zoning process, refer to Chapter 25-2 of the City Land Development Code. WHERE TO APPLY: To ensure that the application is complete, an advance review by the City Historic Preservation Office is required. Applications may be submitted at the receptionist’s desk, 5th floor, One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Road by appointment. Phone (512) 974-2727 for an appointment. TIME FRAME FOR PROCESSING HISTORIC ZONING CASES: Each historic zoning case is reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Commission approximately four to six weeks after receipt of application. The Historic Landmark Commission meets once a month, typically on the 4th Monday of each month. The case is then heard by either the Zoning and Platting Commission or the Planning Commission approximately three weeks after the Historic Landmark Commission hearing, and then by the City Council approximately six weeks later. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: Refer to Instructions and Submittal Checklist. Complete Application Forms, supplemental materials, and Affidavits.

City of Austin - Historic Preservation Office Historic Zoning Application Packet General Overview Historic zoning is a zoning overlay which is added to the base zoning of a specific tract of land (for example CBD-H denotes Central Business District-Historic Zoning). To qualify for City Historic Landmark status, a property must meet one or more (but typically five or more) of the local historic criteria (see criteria below). Applicants need to submit historical documentation demonstrating how the property meets these criteria (see attached submittal requirements). The City Historic Landmark Commission reviews all applications for City Historic Landmark designation, with the Austin City Council making final decisions on these designations. Please note that at least (3) months is typically required to process a City Historic Landmark designation through the City Council from the time a complete application is received. Once designated, all proposed exterior site and building changes (other than routine maintenance) to a historically zoned tract require advance review and approval by the City Historic Landmark Commission. A copy of the Historic Landmark Commission's review standards is available from the City Historic Preservation Office. City Historic Landmark properties that are in good repair and in full compliance with the City historic review requirements are eligible to apply annually for a historic property tax exemption.
