On February 20, 2008, Resolution No. 2008-0004 designated Houston Heights Historic District East as a historic district. An inventory list of all properties in the district was included as a part of that resolution as Exhibit B. At the time of passage, 1429 Columbia Street was listed as a potentially contributing structure, built circa 1930.
New information obtained on the property has provided the Historic Archaeological and Historical Commission an opportunity to reconsider the classification. The Commission respectfully requests City Council redesignate the house, from a potentially contributing to a non-contributing structure.
The Planning and Development Department recommends amending Resolution No. 2008-0004 to change the designation of 1429 Columbia Street in Exhibit B to non-contributing.
