Design Commission Downtown Density Bonus Resolution — original pdf
RESOLUTION ON DOWNTOWN DENSITY BONUS ONSITE AFFORDABILITY ASSESSMENT WHEREAS, the calibration report by EcoNorthwest did not include feedback from the developers responsible for providing on-site affordable housing and financing the Downtown Density Bonus fees-in-lieu; and WHEREAS, on-site affordable housing can be problematic to implement and it has not been assessed as part of the Downtown Density Bonus program; and WHEREAS, increasing costs through city fees causes developers to charge higher rent or sell at a higher cost per square foot to cover the minimum required Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR); and WHEREAS, when a condo project has hotel financing which requires all condo owners to use the units as a second residence, providing on-site affordable units to an income-restricted group that also owns a second home is very unlikely; and WHEREAS, the Residual Land Value (RLV) methodology used in the EcoNorthwest study assumed certain inputs that were compared to a leading provider of CRE data, however with Texas being a non-disclosure state, these reports often contain incorrect prices and ownership, and WHEREAS, this methodology excludes land contributed as equity, which is also a common real estate practice, and WHEREAS, developers will not disclose project costs due to potential exposure and therefore, this is not likely an accurate costs basis analysis; and WHEREAS, the Downtown Density Bonus program incents land owners to sell to developers that are bringing maximum Floor-to-Area Ratio (FAR) for whole city blocks because they can offer sellers the most money for the land, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE DESIGN COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: We recommend that Council directs the City Manager to analyze the barriers to providing affordable housing on site, the efficacy of “best efforts” affordable housing on-site implementation, the challenges in operating on- site affordable units, and the affects the fees-in-lieu have on land acquisition. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the results of this affordability assessment should be used to inform the required community benefits and calibration of fees-in-lieu for the Downtown Density Bonus Program.

A.1 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: June 28, 2021 July 26, 2021 CASE NUMBER: PR-2021-084005 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Rev. John and Mattie Barclay House COUNCIL DISTRICT: 10 WATERSHED: Taylor Slough ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 3009 Bowman Avenue ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence (SF-3) district to single family residence – Historic Landmark (SF-3-H) combining district zoning for the original part of the house, and release of the demolition permit for the south addition and pool. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: June 28, 2021: Postponed at staff request with applicant’s consent. July 26, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). The applicants have submitted a lead-based paint report in support of their application for demolition; however, the report states that while there is lead paint on the interior of the house it is intact, and no remediation is necessary.

The original house has a large, two-story, front-gabled frame addition to the south, which replaced a what appears to be an original detached garage, and then a later detached garage. The original house retains its articulation despite the additions to the south. Historical Associations: The house appears to have been built around 1941 for John Barclay, the pastor of the Central Christian Church in downtown Austin. There is a water service permit to Burt Dyke, who owned the large estate at what was the end of Bowman Avenue, and whose home is now known as the Tarry House; there does not appear to be a building permit for this house; but the …

3009 Bowman West Austin Case Overview • Request: To release the demolition permit. • Staff Recommendation: The site “may” meet two criteria for designation, though “there is a question of integrity” as to whether it truly meets architectural criteria. • Discussion: Staff reports that “it is unlikely that Rev. Barclay would recognize the current building.” Historic Designation Criteria Code Criteria (Must Meet Two) 3009 Bowman Architecture Historic Association Archaeology Community Value Landscape Feature ? ? ✖ ✖ ✖ A Question of Integrity: Architecture Staff Report: “[T]he new addition to the south dwarfs [the original part of the house] so there is a question of integrity here that the Commission needs to decide as to whether the house meets the architectural significance criterion at this point. A Question of Integrity: Architecture Staff Report: “[I]t is unlikely that Rev. Barclay would recognize the current building as the home he and his wife occupied for over 20 years.” Site Footprint Not Original Original Roughly 60 percent of the façade perimeter is not part of the original home. Not Original Not Original Staff Report: “It is unlikely that Rev. Barclay would recognize the current building as the home he and his wife occupied for over 20 years.” Historic Association Historic Association: Rev. John Barclay • Pastor at Central Christian Church when LBJ was in the congregation. • Offered a prayer at the inauguration of LBJ/JFK (1961). Policy Questions for Consideration: • While Rev. Barclay, like many local leaders, knew LBJ, does this connection warrant historic designation? • If connection to LBJ is sufficient for historic designation, such a decision – when applied consistently – would likely result in designation (and tax exemption) for various other West Austin homes. There are five historic landmarks within a half‐mile of this property Condition: Lead Paint The property owners hired experts to conduct an environmental test of the original portion of the home, which confirmed that lead paint is present in the existing home. This has contributed to the property owner’s decision to seek to construct a new, less compromised home on the site. Historic Designation Criteria Code Criteria (Must Meet Two) 3009 Bowman Architecture Historic Association Archaeology Community Value Landscape Feature ✖ ? ✖ ✖ ✖ Recap Staff has indicated that 3009 Bowman “may” meet two criteria for historic designation related to Rev.

Federal law (24 CFR part 35 and 40 CFR par 745) requires sellers and lessors of residential units constructed prior to 1978, except housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any child who is less than six year of age resides or is expected to reside in such housing) or any zero-bedroom dwelling to disclose and provide a copy of this report to new purchasers or lessees before they become obligated under a lease or sales contract. Property owners and sellers are also required to distribute an educational pamphlet approved by the United States environmental protection agency and include standard warning language in leases or sales contracts to ensure that parents have the information they need to protect children from lead- based paint hazards.

The XRF survey was performed within the current acceptable industry guidelines, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Guidelines Chapter 7 (revised 1997) and Texas regulations. During a visual assessment of the property A&W Environmental Services, LLP (License number: 2110404, Expiration date: February 17, 2020), observed that deteriorated paint was present at the property. In association with those findings, we performed a Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Inspection and have determined that all surfaces containing lead-based paint are intact and hence no stabilization plan is required. A&W Environmental Services, LLP used a Niton XLP300A X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) serial# 12249 with a Cd-109 sourced on August 2014 to sample paint for lead based paint at the property.

A.1.3 - 3009 Bowman - applicant's statement and photos — original pdf
Here is a copy of the lead report that was done in March 2019 – there were 12 positive findings of lead; full report attached. The applicant has young children. Also, given the extensive level of remodeling of the older section of the home (which does not include the fact that the new addition is more than 50% of the house), I hope you might reconsider - - photos below of the exterior of the older portion of the home with new doors/windows in what appears to be slightly modified openings. I can’t imagine that the original home had an opening that would accommodate French doors with side windows. MJW.

HEATHER WINN AND TIBAUT BOWMAN 3009 Bowman Austin Texas 78703-2251 July 20, 2021 Via Email at Steve.Sadowsky@AustinTexas.gov Steve Sadowsky Historic Preservation Office Street-Jones Building 1000 E. 11th Street, Suite200 Austin, Texas 78702 Dear Mr. Sadowsky: RE: Objection to Historic Zoning of 3009 Bowman Avenue; PR-2021-084005 We are the owners of 3009 Bowman in Tarrytown. As your report indicates, a significant addition to the home existed at the time of our purchase. Moreover, new windows and French doors were added to the older section of the home. As accurately stated in your report, the new addition is quite large compared to the older portions of the house. To compound things, because we suspected the use of lead paint, we hired experts to conduct an environmental test on the older section of the home. Our suspicion was confirmed in the report. We have two small children. Because of the extensive addition and the modifications to the exterior of the older portion of the property, we do not believe that historic designation is appropriate for this West Austin home. The Central Christian Church certainly is an appropriate place to recognize Pastor John Barclay and Lyndon B. Johnson’s participation in the church. As you can well imagine, there are hundreds of people who knew and were involved in LBJ’s life and times, who lived throughout Austin. We are sure that many of their homes and other sites have appropriately honored their connection to LBJ. In this particular case, given the modifications to the property, the condition of the house, and its location, we hope that you might reconsider the staff’s recommendation. Please accept this letter as our objection to the rezoning of our property to Historic. Sincerely, Heather Winn Bowman Tibaut Bowman {W1073706.1} DocuSign Envelope ID: 79684A98-BE40-4200-89B7-4CC2ABB8EA1E

A.2 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET August 23, 2021 HLC DATE: July 26, 2021 PC DATE: CASE NUMBER: GF-21-10366 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Chrysler Air-Temp House COUNCIL DISTRICT: 7 WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 2502 Park View Drive ZONING FROM: SF-2 to SF-2-H SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence – standard lot (SF-2) district to single family residence – standard lot – Historic Landmark (SF-2-H) combining district zoning if the Commission believes that this house qualifies as a historic landmark and represents the entire proposed historic district.. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical significance, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: July 26, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) but is contributing to the Air Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, currently pending before the State Board of Review. This case came before the Commission in June, 2020 for a full demolition. The applicant in the 2020 case reconsidered their application for full demolition and submitted plans for a partial demolition and retention of the character-defining features of this house; those plans were reviewed and approved by the Commission. The prior proposal would have preserved much of the street façade of the house, replacing deteriorated materials in kind or with a visually-compatible modern material, and an addition to the back in what promised to be a sensitive rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the house. The Commission initiated historic zoning on the house during the pendency of the preparation of those plans, and satisfied that the plans would preserve the character of the house, dropped the historic zoning case. Since that time, the original applicants sold the house to the current applicant, who is seeking a permit to demolish the house and build a new house in its place. One question before the Commission is whether this house represents an individual landmark-worthy designation, or whether it is simply contributing to the proposed National Register Historic District. If the Commission decides that this house qualifies individually as a historic landmark, then any changes to its exterior or site will require a Certificate of Appropriateness. If this house is contributing to the proposed National Register Historic A.2 - 2 District, then the Commission will have only advisory review over changes to the exterior or the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 23, 2021 HR-2021-067051 1805 E. 3RD STREET HERRERA HOUSE B.1 – 1 Replace the front doors and paint the historic house, add a new window to an existing or new rear wall opening, and construct a 1-story rear addition. Previous restoration work was approved administratively. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project involves eight parts: 1) Replace the non-historic front doors with paneled partially glazed doors. 2) Replace some glazing in historic window sashes. 3) Replace the metal roof with composition shingles with a wood-shake profile. 4) Paint the house to match the historic color (yellow). 5) Possibly change window and door openings on the historic rear wall. 6) Replace a historic rear window with a new window with unknown sash material. 7) Construct an uncovered wood deck behind the rear (south) wall of the historic house. 8) Construct a 1-story rear addition. The addition is set back approximately 24’ from the front wall and has an unknown footprint. A flat-roofed hyphen likely clad in hardiplank connects the new construction to the historic house. The addition will likely be clad in board-and-batten and horizontal hardiplank siding and capped by a likely cross-gabled roof, with a slope, eave depth, and shingles matching those of the historic house. Windows are single-hung and fixed with an unknown sash material; paired sliding glass doors on the hyphen’s east wall provide access to the wood deck between the historic house and addition. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Repair and Alterations One-story, L-plan, cross-gabled building; vertical board-and-batten siding; 4:4 wood-sash windows; shed porch with two entry doors; National Folk style. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: General Standards 1.1 Do not remove intact historic material from the exterior of a building. 1.2 Always attempt repair first. Replacement should only be undertaken when absolutely necessary, and for the smallest area possible. 1.3 When historic material must be replaced due to damage or deterioration, replacement material should look the same, perform reliably within the existing construction, and, in most cases, be made of the same material. The proposed project repairs and retains historic wood siding, windows, and trim. Where replacement of boards or battens is necessary due to deterioration, replacements will match historic materials …
