HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JULY 2, 2025 HR-2025-060692 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4411 AVENUE B 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear two-story addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an addition at the rear of the existing house, which contributes to the Hyde Park local historic district. Addition is proposed to be two-stories in height and located directly behind the existing one-story building. ARCHITECTURE The house at 4411 Avenue B is a single-story house with a corner inset porch that is supported by two wood posts. The building is elevated on piers with the crawlspace covered in a concrete skirt. The walls are clad in narrow teardrop siding with fascia above. A hipped roof clad in metal covers the entire house and is set at a moderate pitch. The front and side windows all appear to be original wood frames and covered in screens. The front entry is at the rear of the inset porch. Overall, the house has excellent integrity and is good condition. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.1. Preservation of Historic Character Any removal of original fabric is located entirely at the rear elevation. Though a two-story addition, it excellently reflects the form and style of the main house and overall district. 4.2. Location Addition is at the rear and will be minimally visible from the street. 4.3. Roof, Fenestration, and Siding Roof pitch and form matches the existing front house. Though likely not visible from the street, two second story windows on the front elevation are matching the configuration of the historic. Proposed siding is compatible with the existing. 4.4. Size and Scale of Addition Both floors of the addition match the floor-to-ceiling height of the original house. Second floor does not begin until over 15 feet from the front of the house and does not visually overwhelm the building. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Reduce the overall verticality of the addition if possible and refine the roof pitch to further reduce the visibility of the addition from the street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 10.0 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos 10.0 – 3 Permit application, 2025 Zillow listing, 2025
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 2, 2025 PR-2025-029950; GF-2025-033059; HR-2025-056344 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1703 ALAMEDA DRIVE 14.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house and construct a residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish the existing one-story house, which contributes to the National Register district. Construct a two-story house in generally the same location on the lot. ARCHITECTURE Built in a simple, minimal traditional form, the house at 1703 Alameda Drive is set at grade slightly above the street and is rectangular in plan with a small front porch cutout at one corner. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood siding, and original screen are present at the four front windows, along with a screen door at the rear of the porch for the main entry. There is minimal overhang from the hipped roof, which is clad in composition shingle. The house features numerous windows on all sides, typically paired or arranged in three units, side-by-side. A pier-and-beam foundation supports the one-story structure. The house is in good condition and has seen minimal alterations since construction. RESEARCH After construction around 1939, the house was first owned by Hiram & Doris Brown, who worked at local businesses such as Texas Cleaners & Shoe Repair. The Browns owned the property through World War II, and shortly after was sold to Charles & Bertha Kinney. Charles Kinney worked as a salesman and Bertha worked for many years as a clerk at the Internal Revenue Service. For a time, their adult son lived with them while attending the University of Texas. 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 Proposed construction is generally on the same footprint as the existing house and matches setback to other houses on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed residence is oriented towards the street, like the existing house and neighbors on the same street. 3. Scale, massing, and height Generally, the neighbors on the same street have single-story houses or, if there is a second floor, it is setback from the front or visually hidden by a side-gabled roof. There is no setback in this design, nor does the plan call for breaking up the height …

Burleson Smith 306 W. 34th St. Austin, TX 78705 Date: June 26, 2025 Historic Preservation Office Permitting and Development Center 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 RE: Letter of Support for Redevelopment at 300 W 34th Street, Austin, TX Dear Members of the Planning Commission, I am writing as a neighbor and local resident in strong support of the proposed residential redevelopment at 300 W 34th Street. As someone who lives in the immediate area, I believe this project represents a thoughtful and much-needed investment in our neighborhood. The 34th Street corridor is an essential part of central Austin, offering walkable access to key amenities, public transportation, and the University of Texas campus. Enhancing housing availability in this location is both practical and aligned with the city's goals of increasing urban density in well-connected areas. From what I understand, the redevelopment will replace an aging structure with new, high- quality housing that is more energy-efficient, safer, and better suited to meet current needs. housing choices for students, young professionals, and long-time residents alike. Far from disrupting the character of our neighborhood, this redevelopment has the potential to enhance it bringing renewed vitality and ensuring that this area remains a desirable and accessible place to live. As housing pressures grow across Austin, I appreciate forward-looking projects like this one that seek to add supply in a responsible, community- conscious way. I respectfully urge the Planning Commission and all reviewing bodies to approve the proposal and allow this much-needed investment in our neighborhood to move forward. Sincerely, Burleson Smith

The property was zoned R&D-PDA in 1995 through Ordinance No. 950427-R and is developed with an office park (River Place Corporate Park) that contains seven buildings, with surface parking. There is undeveloped land zoned GR-CO directly to the north. To the south, there are office and single family residential uses that are zoned GO-CO and SF-5. The lots to the east are developed with an automotive repair use, a commercial retail center, a restaurant, financial services and medical office uses. To the west there is undeveloped land in the county. The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property to amend the existing PDA overlay to permit Multifamily Residential and Outdoor Sports and Recreation uses on the property. The applicant plans to replace two of the existing office buildings on the site by constructing two new multifamily complexes, with publicly accessible outdoor recreation amenities (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C).

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 1, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 03 C14-2025-0032 - Acres West Lot 20 Rezone; District 61 of 29 C14-2025-0032 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 0.407 acre undeveloped lot that fronts onto Caldwell Drive. There are professional office and medical office uses to the north and east zoned GO-CO. The lots to the south are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-2. To the west there is an undeveloped area, a detention pond and a residential condominium development with GO-CO zoning and an I-RR designation. In this case, the applicant is requesting to establish permanent SF-6 zoning to allow for a single-family and condominium development on this property (please see the Applicant’s Summary Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends the applicant’s request for Townhouse and Condominium Residence district zoning. The proposed zoning is consistent with the purpose statement as the property is located on a residential collector roadway. The proposed zoning will provide a transition from the office zoning/uses to the north and east to the single-family residences along Caldwell Lane to the south. SF-6 zoning will permit the development of additional residential uses in this area and it will establish a permanent zoning designation on this currently undeveloped lot. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Townhouse and Condominium Residence district is intended as an area for moderate density single family, duplex, two family, townhouse, and condominium use, without the spacing and locational requirements for townhouses and condominiums that apply in SF-5. This district is appropriate for areas in which unusually large lots predominate with access to other than minor residential streets, and in selected areas where a transition from single-family to multifamily use is appropriate. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will provide a transition from the GO-CO zoning/office uses to the north and east to the SF-2 zoning/single-family residences along Caldwell Lane to the south. It is …
