A.4 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: October 25, 2021 November 15, 2021 CASE NUMBER: DA-21-132111 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Nalley-Shear-Bremond Warehouse WATERSHED: Waller Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 301 San Jacinto Street ZONING FROM: CBD to CBD-H SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from central business district (CBD) to central business district – Historic Landmark (CBD-H) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical associations, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 25, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The building does not appear to be listed, at least with this address, in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, City of Austin Downtown Commission, Downtown Austin Alliance, Downtown Austin Neighborhood Assn. (DANA), Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Preservation Austin, Red Line Parkway Initiative, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: PHONE: 974-6454 A.4 - 2 One-story, rectangular-plan, flat-roofed brick warehouse building with segmental- arched window bays containing metal-framed horizontal lites; each has a segmental arched cast stone lintel and a fixed-sash clerestory transom above with a cast stone segmental-arch and a cast stone lintel; full-width independent metal and wood canopy; modern, metal-framed double-leaf, glazed entry doors; cast stone belt course above the clerestory transoms. The building is a good example of a large warehouse building that typifies rail-side warehouses for wholesale distribution of provisions and commodities during the time that the vast majority of those operations were rail lines. This is a utilitarian building with little architectural flourish, but qualifies for landmark designation under the architectural criterion as a good example of a utilitarian structure with few alterations. Historical Associations: This warehouse building was constructed around 1912 for the Nalley Grocery Company, operated by A.M. Nalley, and later by J. Gordon Wilcox, a prominent wholesale grocery man in town. Nalley Grocery Company remained here until around 1917, when the Shear Company, owned by Mrs. H.H. Shear of Waco, Texas, appears as the owners of the building in Austin city directories. All of these early wholesale grocery distribution warehouses were also coffee roasters, and purveyors of produce. The Shear Company operated out of this building until around 1923, when …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 C14H-2009-0029; HR-2021-148730 DAVIS HOUSE 1600 GASTON AVE. B.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a second-story addition over the garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace existing concrete paver driveway with limestone pavers in existing driveway location. 2) Install copper lanterns flanking the front door and on the site walls at the front of the sidewalk. 3) Replace inoperable double-hung wood windows on front and side elevations with painted wood windows with true divided lights and insulated glass. 4) Install a new window within a taller opening than existing on the west side elevation near the garage. 5) Construct a second-story addition on the garage. Changes to the garage to accommodate the addition include reducing the width of the garage door, adding a window, shortening the depth of the entry porch, and retaining and relocating the existing door. The limestone-clad addition will have a side-gabled composition shingle roof, with the roof slope and details to match the house. Windows will be aluminum-clad wood with mullions to match those on the house. A wood trellis will be installed above the garage door near the height of the existing roof fascia. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-story side-gabled stone-veneered Colonial Revival-styled house with a full-width independent porch on plain square wood posts; the symmetrical façade features a central entry flanked with sidelights and a 6:6 Colonial Revival-styled window at each side of the entry. The house has a side-gabled stone-veneered integral garage to the left and set back from the principal block of the house. 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 5. Windows, doors, and screens The standards for landmarks indicate that historic windows, doors, and shutters should be repaired and retained except in cases of extreme damage or deterioration. Further, window openings should not be enlarged except to accommodate an addition, and new openings must be limited and compatible with the building’s architectural character. The project initially proposed replacement of the front door and sidelights and removal of shutters on the façade. Following staff feedback, the applicant intends to retain these significant historic elements. Windows on the front (south) and east elevations are deteriorated and have been painted shut, which is …

Thanks, Tobin ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Hello, I OBJECT to this Permit. I have sent the following information, along with the form, via postal mail, but being uncertain of the timing and arrival of the mail, I wanted to email you the same information. Due to Covid, I will be unable to attend the public hearing in person, but I wanted to provide written comments. I live at 1705 Nickerson St in a 1928 Craftsman Bungalow, similar to the one at 504 Leland. I object to the demolition of the house for the following reasons: 1 1. This is a historic building in a historic district. It will certainly be replaced with a modern style home (based on the types of homes Jack Booth Construction tends to favor), which only further degrades the historic district. What is the purpose of having a historic district if we remove all the historic homes that give it character? 2. The home is not a tear‐down. It is certainly in need of repairs, as all older homes require. I do not want to provide support for demolishing a perfectly habitable home and filling our landfill needlessly and wastefully. 3. We need affordable housing in our neighborhood. Certainly, this current historic home is much more affordable than what would replace it. 4. From a personal perspective, my property taxes are skyrocketing every year, not due to my home evaluation, but due to the land evaluation. Travis County concludes that the value of the land for a home that was purchased and demolished is equal to the price paid for the home and land together. Purchasing a perfectly habitable home, then demolishing it, only increases my land valuation.

Donna Hoffman PAZ Preservation; Sadowsky, Steve From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Re: [Blackshear] Opposed to demolition of 1007 Chicon St, 78702 (PR-21-160810) Monday, November 15, 2021 11:39:21 AM image.png *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I also oppose the demolition of the historic craftsman-style house at 1007 Chicon St, 78702 (PR-21-160810). These houses have a special place on this main thoroughfare that was once a bustling and lively, predominantly African American community. 1007 Chicon faces Huston-Tillotson University and speaks to me every time I walk past of the relationship of the homes and stores on that side of Chicon and the University community across the street. 1007 Chicon St. is a beautiful example of the Texas vernacular that defines many central Austin neighborhoods since the late turn of the last century. What steps will you take to protect and preserve it? Thank you.
