Highlights of SCW Combining District Change Log — original pdf
Key Adjustments to the South Central Waterfront Combining District and Density Bonus Program September 10, 2024 From late February to March 2024, the South Central Waterfront Combining District and Density Bonus program underwent a one-month active public input process. Planning Commission then approved, with recommendations, for staff to submit the draft code to Council. The Council item was delayed from May 30 to July 18 then to September 12 wherein staff further refined the code. Throughout the process, feedback was provided by community members, Boards and Commissions, staff, and other stakeholders. Staff consolidated and assessed the feedback to determine recommended adjustments to the draft code for the South Central Waterfront. The following is a list of some of the key adjustments of the draft code from this input. The following key is the source of the adjustment: Boards and Commissions, Public Input, and/or Staff. Key: Source of Input Boards and Commissions Public Staff Items not highlighted are changes made as a result of the public input window in February and March. Items highlighted in yellow are key changes from Planning Commission recommendations incorporated in the May 30 staff draft of the code (Version 1). Items highlighted in blue are additional modifications in staff’s Version 2 of the draft code based on internal staff coordination and collaboration since May 30. District Boundary and Subdistricts Source Adjustment District boundaries were further expanded to include three properties on the western side of the South Central Waterfront.

10 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-040291 BERNER-CLARK-MERCADO HOUSE 1807 EAST CESAR CHAVEZ STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Stabilize porch structure by repairing deck, balcony rails, and porch posts. Paint over graffiti. The proposed porch repairs were completed without a permit. Balcony railings, porch supports, and decking have been replaced. Graffiti remediation and new paint are proposed. 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 Historic materials have been removed from the building; the extent of deterioration prior to removal is not clear. The replacement materials do not look the same as the removed historic materials. 6. Porches Deteriorated porch elements have been removed and replaced with inappropriate new materials. The repaired porch decking appears appropriately constructed. Summary The project mostly does not meet the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Use the same profiles and designs for all woodwork. Porch columns, balustrades, and bracket detailing should be put back exactly, using historic photographs. Add transparent extensions to railings at original height where required by Code, e.g., a light metal topping rail. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Grant the applicant’s request to postpone the public hearing to allow time to implement Committee feedback. LOCATION MAP 10 – 2
