Green and White Grocery HZ Application_2024 CORRECTED — original pdf
Historical Zoning Application: Green and White Grocery, 1201 E. 7th St. Applicant: John Lopez Cazares Date:1/31/24 Project Name: Green and White Grocery Project Street Address: 1201 E. 7th St. Existing Zoning: TOD-NP Area to be Rezoned: .1495 Acres Proposed Zoning: TOD-H-NP Qualifications for Landmark Designation: Architecture, Historical Association, & Community Value Owner information: John Lopez Cazares 1201 E. 7th Street Austin, Texas 78702 (512) 472-0675 Application Prepared by: Matthew Medina (Preservation Austin) & JuanRaymon Rubio (City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission) ___________________________________________________________________________ Qualifications for Landmark Designation 1201 E. 7th St. meets the qualifications for Local Historic Landmark designation based on the following criteria: Architecture, Historical associations, and Community Value. Architecture Green and White Grocery is a one-story wood frame building sited on the northwest corner of the block. The store is approximately 44’ by 74’, and has its main facade along E. 7th St. The store has had multiple additions since its initial construction in 1938. Sanborn maps, historic photos, and oral histories have helped determine the building’s growth over time, although some additions and modifications appear to have happened without documentation. The store was originally half the size and depth and likely received a rear addition in 1944 and a store enlargement in 1950.1 Subsequent additions to the end of the building after 1965 resulted in its current state. Today, the store is defined by its Craftsman style characteristics including decorative wood brackets and exposed rafter rails beneath the primary roof structure and the first-story awning, and a large clipped gable roof, also known as a jerkinhead roof. The building features composite siding at the exterior walls, asphalt composition shingles, and aluminum doors and windows. The main facade has a classic “Green & White Groc.” sign painted green with custom tube lighting letters. The west elevation has no windows, and the east elevation has a few hopper 1 Norverto, Lopez. “Building Permit.” 44660, Austin, Texas, 1950, Austin History Center.

DRAFT HLC Letter - Historic Pecan Grove Threatened at Edward Rendon Sr — original pdf
TO: Planning Commission, Mayor, and Council Members FROM: Historic Landmark Commission DATE: February 7th, 2024 SUBJECT: Historic Pecan Grove Threatened at Edward Rendon Sr. Park The Historic Landmark Commission has been made aware of a pecan grove, located in Edward Rendon Sr. Park at Festival Beach, that the Texas Department of Transportation’s I-35 Expansion Environmental Impact Statement proposes to remove as part of a construction easement outside the existing Right-of-Way. The grove is identified by a granite marker, dedicated to the City of Austin in 1964 as part of early efforts by City Council’s Town Lake Beautification Committee We believe this grove of pecans rises to the status of a local, character-defining, culturally significant, contributing resource of the City of Austin. The Land Development Code entrusts City staff with the health of the Urban Forest, including accurate tree data ground surveys of Heritage trees … according to City of Austin, Environmental Criteria Manual 3.3.2 — General Tree Survey Standards. We recommend direction be given to the City Arborist to identify individual specimens and assess the overall likely boundaries of the Pecan Grove, in order to facilitate our best efforts at perservering this irreplacable resource.

10 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-160702 NICHOLS-GELLMAN BUILDING 201-207 EAST SIXTH STREET PROPOSAL Convert a historic landmark to a restaurant from a bar. The proposed remodel is based on the era beginning in 1933 and extending to the 1950s, from which most of the photographic documentation of the building’s exterior has been sourced. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Install a new metal and glass storefront that references the historic proportions in 1950s photos. 2) Repair brick and stucco as needed. 3) Remove the non-original balcony at the north elevation. 4) Replace the non-original arched storefronts with squared ones to restore historic proportions. 5) Repair existing upper windows as needed at the north elevation. 6) Repair windows at the west elevation, replacing them in kind when necessary. Install new windows beneath the existing ones, with metal detailing used to express the connection between the new and old windows. Two existing windows are proposed to be removed and infilled with salvaged brick obtained during the construction of the new windows. ARCHITECTURE Built in 1872, 201-207 E 6th Street is a two-story brick and stone commercial structure. The original brick cornice detailing remains intact, though the front has been altered throughout the years and now features arched openings. The secondary façade (west) on Brazos Street is exposed brick and has small windows on the ground level. 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 at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposal includes mostly repairs, with some intact historic material removed from the secondary façade and reused as infill. Replacement elements appear sourced from photos taken during the historic period. 4. Exterior walls and trim See 1. Proposed patching will be completed using salvaged material from the same building. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposal includes repair of existing windows, with replacement in-kind at secondary elevations only if deterioration precludes repair. It includes new openings at the secondary street-facing elevation; however, openings do appear limited, appropriate for the building, and compatible with the architectural character. The proposal fills two windows at the secondary façade. 11. Commercial storefronts The proposed storefront appears mostly based on historic photos; however, care should be taken to preserve …
