Item 33 Passed 10-0

In plain language — from the agenda backup

The city's looking to add a historic landmark designation to the Mayer-Howse House at 810 West 10th Street, just off Shoal Creek downtown. The rezoning would tack an "H" onto the property's existing zoning, formally recognizing it as a landmark while keeping its general office and transit-oriented development designations intact. Staff, the Historic Landmark Commission, and the Planning Commission all recommend approval, and the property owner supports the change.
