BOX 12276 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711 (512) 475-3092 July 24, 1985 Mayor Alan Henry City of Lubbock P.O. Box 2000 Lubbock, TX 79457 Dear Mayor Henry: I am writing you regarding a recent and significant change in the structure of state and local historic preservation activities which has been brought about by amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. This act, which has served as the basis for all federal and state historic preservation activity, was amended by the U.S. Congress in 1980. One of the key amendments establishes a framework which will closely integrate the historic preservation activities of state and local governments. This partnership is to be implemented by the Texas Historical Commission through the review and approval of applications by cities for Certified Local Government status. The term "Certified Local Government", as defined in rules prepared by the National Park Service, refers to those city governments whose preservation programs meet the following criteria. The 1 local government shall: (1) enforce appropriate state or local legislation for the designation and protection of historic properties; (2) establish, by state or local law, an adequate and qualified review commission comprised of professional and lay members; (3) maintain a system for the survey and inventory of historic properties; and (4) provide for adequate public participation in the historic preservation process, including the process of nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places. All Certified Local Governments will become eligible to apply for federal historic preservation funds allocated annually to the Texas Historical Commission. Federal regulations require that at least 10 percent of the annual Historic Preservation Fund grant to each state be set aside for use by Certified Local Governments. This grant money, which must be matched on a 50-50 basis, must be used on projects which will produce tangible results 95e Slate a,9w yfa2 l y'�al�o� Y and further local and state goals of historic preservation; such as the identification, evaluation, designation, and protection of the locality's historic cultural resources. Such activities include technical or professional assistance for the local historic preservation program, completion or updating of the survey and inventory of historic resources, nomination of properties to the National Register, the development or updating of a historic preservation plan, and educational activities, programs, and publications. The Certified Local Government program also provides for the direct participation of the local historic preservation program in the nomination of properties to the National Register of Historic Places. Prior to the passage of the amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act, there was no provision for local input in the National Register process. I am enclosing copies of the Federal regulations for the Certified Local Government program, as well as the rules adopted by the Texas Historical Commission for the implementation of the program in the state of Texas. The latter document details the specific requirements which must be met in order to qualify for Certified Local Government status in Texas. An application form for the program is also enclosed, which must be signed by you as the chief elected official of your city, and returned along with the supporting documents required to my office. Further information on the Certified Local Government process in Texas can be obtained by contacting the National Register Department of the Texas Historical Commission at 512/475-3094. We feel that this program will lead to a stronger historic preservation program at both state and local levels in Texas, and we look forward to working with many Texas cities as Certified Local governments in the coming years. CT/mc Enclosures Sincerely, 4 Curtis Tunnell Executive Director Resolution #2381 HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACTIVITIES OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK The Lubbock Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission is appointed as a recommending body by the Lubbock City Council to administer the City's Design -Historic Zoning Ordinance. Members of the Commission have "knowledge and experience in the architectural, landscape architectural, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, ethnic or political history of Lubbock." The Commission must include at least one representative from the fields of architecture, urban planning, history or political science, archaeology or paleontology, sociology or anthropology, building construction, and landscape architecture. The four members at -large must have a demonstrated interest in history and historic preservation. The Director of Planning, Building Inspection Administrator, and Zoning Administrator of the City of Lubbock are ex -officio members of the Commission, as are representatives of local groups such as the Lubbock County Historical Commission, Lubbock Heritage Society, Ranching Heritage Association, West Texas Museum Association, Lubbock Board of Realtors, Lubbock Chamber of Commerce, Lubbock Association of Mortgage -Lending Institutions, and the Lubbock Chapter, American Institute of Architects. The idea for the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission originated with the Chamber of Commerce Committee 170, which published Iubbock_g Qoa?s for the Seventies_ in 1969. The Goals committee on Cultural Activities urged creation of a "Commission on Architecture and Urban Design" for the City. In the 19701s, local cultural resource information was increased with the publication of a Historic Site Survey and an Architectural Site Survey of Lubbock. A chapter on Urban Design was included in the 1974 Land RagLanof the Lu c ComArehe sive Plan, and the Urban I &,ge Analysig was completed as a supplementary volume to the Plan. In recognition of the increased interest in urban design and historic preservation, the 1975 update of the Lubbock Zoning 1 Ordinance included a reserve chapter on "design historic district" zoning. With this provision, an urban design and historic preservation ordinance that provided protection for historic landmarks in addition to the existing "use" zoning would be added at a later date. In January, 1977, the City Council passed a resolution creating an "Urban Design Advisory Committee" to make recommendations to the Council on the creation of the reserve section of the Zoning Ordinance. In the resolution, the Council recognized the desirability and advisability of protecting historic sites and "areas of lasting aesthetic quality having special interest or value to the citizens of Lubbock." In 1977 and 1978, the study committee researched and formulated a proposed Urban Design and Historic Preservation Ordinance. After public hearings, the completed ordinance was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and recommended to the City Council. In August, 1978, the City Council passed the Historical Preservation and Urban Design District Ordinance as an addition to the Lubbock Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance authorized Design -Historic Zoning and created the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission. The original Commission was appointed by the Council in september, 1978, and held an initial meeting in December 1978. (A complete list of Commission members is attached) The first Lubbock Historic Landmark, the Fort Worth and Denver South Plains Railway Depot, was designated in August, 1979. To date (July 1986) 31 additional Historic Landmarks have been designated by the City Council on the recommendation of the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission. These include structures as diverse as the first Black hospital in West Texas and the first highway bridge across Yellowhouse Canyon, as well as residences and commercial buildings. Many of the designated Historic Landmarks have received plaques in a joint venture between the City and individual property owners. At a ceremony at the Austin Brothers Bridge in the Canyon Lake Project, in May, 1982, the first Lubbock Historic Landmark plaques were dedicated. The cast aluminum markers adorned with the Commission logo designed by Commission member Chris Gelin, enable the public to recognize and be informed about the various Historic Landmark structures. The plaques are funded equally by the City, using federal Revenue Sharing funds, and the property owners. In addition to recognition and protection of Historic Landmarks, the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission has participated in other activities to promote public awareness of historic preservation and urban design. The Commission has sponsored an exhibit at the Lubbock Arts Festival each year since the event's inception. Exhibit topics have included Lubbock history, historic architecture, Lubbock's brick streets, Broadway renovation, and Central Business District revitalization. Though the primary focus of the Commission has been recognition and preservation of historic buildings, it has recently made recommendations for urban design projects. In February 1982, the City Council passed a resolution providing for the preservation and maintenance of Lubbock's brick streets, a recommendation which originated from the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission has participated in the formulation of a Broadway Corridor plan to create a visual link from the Central.Business District to Texas Tech University, with renovation of the brick street surface, addition of street furnishings, and improved landscaping as key elements. The City of Lubbock staff, with the assistance and support of the Commission, has continued to update the basic historic and architectural site surveys conducted in the 1970s. In 1984 and 1985, a major update was completed with two grants-in-aid from the Texas Historical Commission.Several square miles of the 3 city were reexamined, many historic buildings were photographed and several hundred Texas Historic Site Survey cards completed. The staff also provides support to owners of historic properties, and attempts to encourage and assist owners in renovation and adaptive use projects. The Commission continues to respond to the direction set forth in Lubbock Goal's for the Seventies. The Goals stated: "Inasmuch as the quality of life of an entire citizenry can be affected by the quality.of its surroundings, we believe that beauty of environment is a subtle but all -pervasive influence in the cultural atmosphere of nay city." It further stressed: "The lack of coordinated... urban design can affect adversely not only the economic progress of a city but the quality of life itself." The Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission continues to pursue improvement of the quality of life in Lubbock, while preserving and protecting elements of the City's heritage for future generations. 2 LUBBOCK HISTORIC LANDMARKS 1.
