ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: C14H- 1987-0016 HLC DATE: March 4, 2026 PC DATE: March 24, 2026 CC Date: APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission (owner-supported) HISTORIC NAME: Mayer-Howse House WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 810 W. 10th Street ZONING CHANGE: GO-ETOD-DBETOD to GO-H-ETOD-DBETOD COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from general office- equitable transit-oriented development-equitable transit-oriented density bonus (GO-ETOD- DBETOD) district zoning to general office-historic landmark-equitable transit-oriented development- equitable transit-oriented density bonus (GO-H-ETOD-DBETOD) district zoning as a means of correcting the existing administrative record. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: November 23, 1987 – public hearing occurs. February 4, 2026 – Reinitiate historic zoning (11-0). March 4, 2026 – Recommend historic zoning (10-0). PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 1988 minutes unavailable. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: 1988 ordinance unavailable. CASE MANAGER: Kalan Contreras, 512-974-2727 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The building appears to have been regulated as a landmark since the late 1980s: it has received a City of Austin Landmark medallion and has filed Certificates of Appropriateness for work done on the property exterior. However, the building’s original paper landmark casefile is largely missing, with original copies of the HLC, PC, and Council minutes and ordinance apparently lost before the era of digitization. Thus, the Historic Preservation Office seeks to correct this administrative oversight in obtaining a new valid ordinance for its designation. NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Independent School District, Austin Neighborhoods Council, City of Austin Downtown Commission, Downtown Austin Alliance, Downtown Austin Neighborhood Assn. (DANA), Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Historic Austin Neighborhood Association, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Old Austin Neighborhood Association, Preservation Austin, Shoal Creek Conservancy BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: See original 1987 application in backup. The building is associated with German American businessman Ernst Mayer and his wife, Mary Mayer. Mayer was a highly skilled tailor by profession in Austin from 1892 through 1927; there were brief periods within this timeframe when he ran saloons in downtown Austin. Ernst Hayer died in Austin in August 1934, and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery. It is also associated with Carrie Howse, who appears to have worked in banking at a time when women did not typically work in the finance industry. The house’s architecture is a unique intact example of a hall-and-parlor cottage whose ornate trim speaks to the railroad’s construction in Austin.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Community value, architecture, and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Recommend historic zoning (11-0).

BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. The O.H. and Thelma Mitchell Elliott House, built in 1954, clearly embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style. Built by carpenter and contractor Arthur Parks, it is an intact example of the Ranch style, one of the most popular and enduring architectural styles for residential buildings in American history. It also provides a window into the development of East Austin during the 1950s: as an exemplar of up-and-coming stylistic trends in a historically segregated 13 C14H-2025-0122 - O.H. and Thelma Mitchell Elliott House1 of 80 part of East Austin, the home’s contemporary design demonstrates that, in spite of the systemic inequalities in land use and services rampant in segregation-era Austin, new neighborhoods marketed to Black professionals …

DURING OUR COUNTRY'S PAINFUL PERIOD OF LEGALLY ENFORCED RACIAL SEGREGATION, OTHERS WERE NOT SO LUCKY." FROM THE DEAN I t was my father’s aspiration to forge a future for his children that led to his enlistment in the U.S. Army. In 1956, after the Korean War, his assignment took us from a small town in Puerto Rico to a new home in Richmond, Virginia. My father was a dark-skinned biracial Puerto Rican (white father, black mother), and my mother was white. Their interracial marriage was rather typical in the island, and I didn’t think much of it. Years later I understood that their marriage was rather remarkable in the mainland. I asked my mother one day about their arrival in Virginia, a state where “miscegenation” was actually a felony. She replied matter-of-factly, “Oh, as soon as people heard your father and me speaking Spanish, they brushed it off. To them we were foreigners, and they thought that’s what ‘they’ do.” In a sense, my parents were lucky that their interracial marriage was dismissed as something “Puerto Ricans do.” During our country’s painful period of legally enforced racial segregation, others were not so lucky. Many fought, in many ways, for the end of legalized segregation. I have shared in other communications that our building used to house a junior high school that led desegregation in Austin. This issue brings you the story of Thelma Mitchell Elliott, a graduate from our program and one of the Precursors, the first generation of black students that desegregated the university in the early 1950s. Despite the Civil Rights Act of 1964, segregation and discrimination against people of color and vulnerable populations persist — we see it in police shootings of African American men; detention and separation of asylum-seeking families; the consequences of eating, barbecuing or doing ordinary things “while black.” Social workers fight against these acts daily with our profession’s variegated skills and tools. Sometimes, as you will read in this issue, this …

At a duly noticed meeting of the Robertson Hill Neighborhood Association, the membership held a vote regarding the proposed demolition. The vote was unanimous in opposition. This decision reflects the strong and shared belief of our neighborhood that the structure at 907 E. 13th Street holds significant historical and cultural value and should be preserved. The building is a contributing element to the historic fabric of East Austin and Robertson Hill. Its age, architectural character, and connection to the area’s early development make it an important physical reminder of the neighborhood’s history. Demolishing this structure would result in an irreversible loss to the community and further erode the historic character of our neighborhood. At this time, there is no clear or concrete plan for redevelopment that would justify the permanent loss of this historic resource. Preservation, rehabilitation, or adaptive reuse should be fully explored as viable alternatives that respect both the site’s history and the surrounding community. The Robertson Hill Neighborhood Association respectfully urges the Planning Commission and all relevant decision-making bodies to deny the demolition request for 907 E. 13th Street and to support efforts that prioritize preservation of historic resources in East Austin. Thank you for your time and consideration of the neighborhood’s position on this matter. Sincerely, Scott Menzies President Robertson Hill Neighborhood Association CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

March 23, 2026 RE: Nitschke-Versea-Goins House - 907 E 13th Street Dear Chair Woods, Vice Chair Hainey, and Members of the Austin Planning Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to express our support for the designation of 907 E 13th Street, also known as the Nitschke-Versea-Goins House, as a City of Austin Landmark for its architecture and historic associations. Built between 1873 and 1884, the house at 913 E. 13th Street stands today as one of the oldest houses in the Swede Hill area. Its National Folk style speaks to its humble, working-class history. The Nitschke family, German cabinetmakers, built the home using construction techniques reminiscent of those in the nearby Swede Hill neighborhood. Anna Eliza Goins, a widow and mother of six children, purchased the home around 1924 and lived there until her passing in 1956. As a Black woman living in segregated Austin, she made a living working as a cook and a laundress, renting out rooms in her modest home to drivers, porters, cooks, and the like. The 2016 East Austin Historic Survey recommended this property for every possible designation, including as a City of Austin landmark. Its distinctive style and high integrity convey a sense of Austin history that is rare and quickly vanishing. The working-class people who lived here embody the stories of so many Austinites who, despite inequity and segregation, nurtured lives and communities of their own making. The Historic Landmark Commission fairly recommended that only the front two rooms, the oldest parts of the building, be zoned historic. This would leave more than half of the lot available for infill development, including through the Preservation Bonus created by City Council as part of the HOME ordinance. Preservation does not have to be a zero-sum game, and we believe that this property holds immense potential for both preservation and future development. Designating the Nitschke-Versea-Goins House affirms our values as a city–that these people are worth remembering, and these stories are worth preserving. Thank you for your consideration and your service to the City of Austin. Sincerely, Miriam Conner, President 14 C14H-2026-0013 - Nitschke-Versea-Goins House; District 11 of 1

Letter of Support: Historic Zoning for 907 East 13th Street (C14H-2026-0013 - Nitschke-Versea-Goins House) Date: March 20, 2026 To: City of Austin Planning Commission From: Swede Hill Neighborhood Association Subject: Support for Historic Zoning Case – 907 East 13th Street Dear Commissioners, On March 4, 2026, the Swede Hill Neighborhood Association met and voted officially to support the application for Historic Zoning for 907 East 13th Street. As one of Austin’s earliest residential neighborhoods, Swede Hill has endured years of threat from rapid demolition, and we believe this property is a vital piece of the fabric that remains. Our support is based on the following critical points: ● Preservation of Heritage: 907 East 13th Street is one of the oldest homes in the area. It stands as a physical tie to the immigrant roots that gave our neighborhood its name and unique identity and a tie to the black families that owned the home subsequently. ● A Reasonable Compromise: The zoning request is specifically targeted toward the original front two rooms of the house. This is a balanced approach that preserves the historic streetscape while leaving a significant portion of the lot available for modern development. ● Preventing "Demolition Scars": We have observed a pattern of behavior from the current landowner, who has purchased scores of properties only to leave them as empty, scraped lots. These demolitions leave scars on our blocks that remain vacant for years, providing no housing for new families and offering zero respect for the history of East Austin. ● Erosion of Character: Many historic homes in Swede Hill have already faced the business end of a bulldozer. We cannot continue to scrap our history and expect to retain the character of this community. While we often collaborate with landowners to find a middle ground, this owner has shown no interest in preserving our neighborhood's history, making this historic designation necessary. Enough is enough. We need the Planning Commission to help us protect the few remaining landmarks of our past before the fabric of Swede Hill is eroded beyond repair.

Barton-Holmes, Christine From: Sent: To: Subject: Miriam Conner <miriam@creativepolicy.com> Thursday, March 19, 2026 2:05 PM Barton-Holmes, Christine RE: OPPOSITION TO SITE PLAN EXTENSION — SP-2019-0253C(XT2) | Springdale Farm, 755 Springdale Road | PSW-Springdale LLC / StoryBuilt You don't often get email from miriam@creativepolicy.com. Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Chair and Members of the Planning Commission: I am writing in strong opposition to the requested three-year extension of Site Plan SP-2019- 0253C for the property at 755 Springdale Road in the Govalle/Johnston Terrace Neighborhood Plan area, the former site of Springdale Farm, submitted by PSW-Springdale LLC (StoryBuilt), represented by Michael Whellan of Armbrust & Brown, PLLC. Granting this extension would reward a developer that has demonstrated a fundamental inability to steward the land it acquired, honor the commitments it made to this community, or operate with the financial integrity required of anyone entrusted with development rights on a site as environmentally sensitive as this one. The Commission should deny this extension and require a full re-evaluation of any future development plans for the site. I. A BELOVED COMMUNITY INSTITUTION WAS LOST AND THE PROMISES MADE IN ITS PLACE WERE BROKEN Springdale Farm, established in 2009 by Paula and Glenn Foore, was far more than a commercial venture. It was a living piece of East Austin's cultural and ecological identity, an urban farm growing over 75 varieties of vegetables, home to a beloved community farm stand, and the site of Eden East, a farm-to-table restaurant that drew people together around locally grown food. The farm closed in 2018 when the Foores sold the property to PSW Real Estate, now operating as StoryBuilt. In the wake of that sale, PSW/StoryBuilt engaged the Govalle neighborhood with promises of a sensitively designed mixed-use development that would preserve the character of the site, including heritage trees, open space, and a continuation of the farm and farm stand. They held multiple community meetings specifically to gather input on what the farm had meant to the community. They promised to honor it. What the neighborhood received instead was the demolition of the historic farmstand structure that had been central to the site's community life, and ultimately, two large holes in the ground. As of 2026, city planning documents for this very site describe the current condition as "two very large holes in the ground (mothballed previous development effort)." The promises were not …
PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN EXTENSION REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: SP-2019-0253C(XT2) PC HEARING DATE: March 24, 2026 PROJECT NAME: Springdale Farm ADDRESS OF SITE: 755 Springdale Rd COUNCIL DISTRICT: 3 NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: Govalle WATERSHED: Boggy Creek JURISDICTION: Full-Purpose APPLICANT/ OWNER: AGENT: Michael Whellan Armbrust & Brown, PLLC Austin, TX Maximiliano Martinez Milian Consulting LLC Austin, TX (512) 435-2300 (956) 251-5146 CASE MANAGER: Christine Barton-Holmes, CAPM, CNUa, LEED AP (512) 974-2788 christine.barton-holmes@austintexas.gov PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is requesting a three-year extension to a previously approved site plan. The site plan was originally approved on February 23, 2022, with an expiration date of February 23, 2025. A subsequent administrative extension brought the expiration date to December 10, 2026. The site plan was approved to construct 57,560 square feet of commercial and restaurant space and 88 residential units, with associated improvements. Delays in construction were caused by the Covid environment in the early 2020s, affecting financing and market conditions. Partial construction has been completed, including excavation for a subgrade parking garage, which currently presents a hazard and which will be mitigated as construction begins again. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to extend this site plan permit by three years, from December 10, 2026 to December 10, 2029, based on the case meeting criteria from LDC Section 25-5-62(C)(1)(a). 25-5-63(C) Extension of released site plan by the Land Use Commission: “the Land Use Commission may extend the expiration date of a released site plan beyond the date established by this chapter if the Land Use Commission determines that the request complies with the requirements for extension by the director under 25-5-62 (Extension of Released Site Plan by Director).” 25-5-62(C) The director may extend the expiration date of a released administrative site plan one time for a period of one year if the director determines that there is good cause for the requested extension; and (1) the director determines that: a) the site plan substantially complies with the requirements that apply to a new application for site plan approval; b) the applicant filed the original application for site plan approval with the good faith expectation that the site plan would be constructed; 15 SP-2019-0253C(XT2) - Springdale Farm1 of 24 c) the applicant constructed at least one structure shown on the original site plan that is suitable for permanent occupancy; or d) the applicant has constructed a significant portion of the infrastructure required for development of …

1 2 4 5 6 Sr. No. Proposed by Topic Proposed Amendment Justification Notes WG Vote Tally Ahmed Training Ahmed Staff Report Enhancement Optional Planning Commission 101 training for PC members, possibly through Texas Municipal League or APA Texas Chapter. Allocate resources to the Planning Department in order to work with Planning Commissioners to enhance the digestibility and usefulness of the staff reports associated with rezoning or NPA cases. Allow for new and existing commissioners to gain valuable knowledge about planning processes, state law, and best practices to inform discussions and improve efficiency. This allows for clarity and ease of understanding for community members (and Planning Commissioners) when reviewing the backup materials, which are often the authoritative source for rezoning and NPA cases. One example is to add a chart showing key effective entitlements such as the maximum height, maximum impervious cover, and maximum setbacks, broken out by applicant request, staff recommendation (if different), and the current existing entitlements. Another example would be to add the contact information (pulled from the community registry) of neighborhood associations and NPCTs in the area. Ahmed Focus Group for Code Amendments Ahmed Community Liason for Zoning Cases Breton Ordinance Creation Allocate resources to the Planning Department to create and support an ongoing focus group of experts in financing, construction, building developers, and other relevant land use backgrounds, to solicit feedback for proposed code amendments. Create a staff position of "Community Liason", which would serve as a resource for impacted neighbors, neighborhood organizations, and businesses that contact the City through the zoning process. This individual would help explain the impacts of zoning changes, guide community members through the options to support or contest cases, and suppport communications with applicants. They would also proactively reach out to NPCTs as a part of the NPA process. Create a Ordinance and Policy Support Office not under the City Manager to lead the process of crafting new ordinances or policies - or changes to existing ones - as directed by City Council. This ongoing focus group would offset the cost of consultants that Planning staff employ to help develop recommendations for code amendments, and creates a clear channel for Austin's community of land use professionals to engage with City-led land use reforms. It would also help ensure that the Planning staff's code amendment recommendations result in developers actually initating the types projects intended by the amendments.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET C20-2025-006 Amendment: C20-2025-006 Amendments to the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC): Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to amend the ERC Regulating Plan to remove the property located at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive from the ERC Regulating Plan and to change the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan. Background and summary of proposed code amendment: This amendment was initiated by the City Council under Resolution No. Resolution No. 20250605-079. Council Sponsors: Mayor Kirk Watson, Council Member Ryan Alter, Council Member Zohaib ''Zo'' Qadri, Council Member José ''Chito'' Vela, Council Member José Velásquez. On February 25, 2010, the City Council adopted the ERC as an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The ERC Plan establishes a long-term vision to transition existing low-density, auto-oriented commercial uses into a pedestrian, and bicycle-friendly, mixed-use urban district. A core objective of the plan is to advance high-quality development and create vibrant places where people can live, work, shop, and recreate within walking distance. In May 2013, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-039 which created the ERC zoning district and established the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC Regulating Plan) and its associated planning area boundary. Council also adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-042 rezoning approximately 228 acres within the East Riverside Corridor to ERC. The approximately 1.437-acre property at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive (collectively, the “South Lakeshore Tract”), located adjacent to the South Shore District Planned Unit Development (PUD), was included within the ERC Regulating Plan boundary at that time. The property owner intends to submit a PUD amendment application to modify existing development regulations within the South Shore District PUD and incorporate the South Lakeshore Tract into the PUD. Because the property lies within the ERC Regulating Plan boundary, a Code amendment is required to remove the tract from the ERC Regulating Plan to allow its inclusion in the PUD. This amendment will provide for consistent and cohesive development regulations within the South Shore District PUD. The current ERC Regulating Plan includes several figures that depict the subject property. See Exhibit “A”. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed Code Amendment to amend the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan to remove the property located at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive from the following figures as depicted by …
