Staff Recommendation

RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE R-3 (High Density Residential) / H-1 (Historic Overlay) and Design Guidelines.

---

Staff recommends approval of H-1 (Historic Overlay) district for this property because the c. 1900 house is significant in that it exemplifies a working class Queen Ann cottage that was very typical in the Fort Sanders neighborhood. The inhabitants included a clerk, foreman, an engineer, superintendent, an engineer, and a railroad employee. The Design Guidelines for the property will be the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation from the National Park Service. The Historic Zoning Commission (HZC) unanimously recommended approval for an H-1 zoning overlay for 1815 Highland Avenue at their December 20, 2018 meeting.
