C14H-2026-0013 - Goins-Versea-Nitschke House - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning a portion of property locally known 907 East 13th Street (Waller Creek Watershed). Applicant Request: To rezone from family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district zoning to family residence-historic landmark-neighborhood plan (SF-3-H-NP) combining district zoning. Staff Recommendation, Historic Landmark Commission Recommendation, and Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant family residence-historic landmark-neighborhood plan (SF-3-H-NP) combining district zoning. Owner: BUBBLE BEE LP. Applicant: Historic Landmark Commission (owner opposed). City Staff: Kalan Contreras, 512-974-2727.

This is a public hearing on whether to grant historic landmark status to the Goins-Versea-Nitschke House at 907 East 13th Street in the Waller Creek Watershed, rezoning it from SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP. The case is notable because the Historic Landmark Commission is pushing for the designation while the property owner, Bubble Bee LP, is opposed — meaning Council is weighing landmark protection against the owner's wishes. Staff, the Historic Landmark Commission, and the Planning Commission all recommend approval.
