Summary
The City of Austin is considering a zoning change for the Mayer-Howse House located at 810 W. 10th Street. The proposed change involves reclassifying the property from a general office-equitable transit-oriented development-density bonus (GO-ETOD-DBETOD) to a general office-historic landmark-equitable transit-oriented development-density bonus (GO-H-ETOD-DBETOD). This adjustment aims to correct an administrative oversight regarding the building's landmark status, which dates back to 1987 but lacks proper documentation due to lost records. The Historic Landmark Commission, along with the Planning Commission, has recommended this change, recognizing the building's architectural significance and historical connections to notable figures such as Ernst and Mary Mayer.
