Page 1 of 3 Site Information: Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: North "A-5" / single family and church parking East "CF" / church South "A-5HC" / Capps Park (across Berry St) West "E" / retail strip Zoning History: None Public Notification: 300 foot Legal Notifications were mailed on November 18, 2020. The followina oraanizations were notified: (emailed November 16. 2020) Organizations Notified Las Familias de Rosemont NA Hemphill Corridor Task Force Jennings May St Louis NA Berry Street Initiative Worth Heights NA Trinity Habitat for Humanity South Hemphill Heights NA* Hemphill Corridor Task Force Ryan Place Improvement Assn Fort Worth ISD Shaw Clarke NA *Located within this Neighborhood Association Development Impact Analysis: Land Use Compatibility The requested change to "ER" Neighborhood Commercial is consistent with land uses on the north side of Berry Street in this area. This lot at the northwest corner of Lipscomb St and Berry St is the only residential use on the north side of Berry St., a commercial mixed use street according to the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Changing the zoning of this lot leaves one additional single family home to the north as much of the block has been converted to parking associated with Travis Avenue Baptist Church to the east. The "HC" Historical & Cultural zoning overlay will provide additional protections to maintain the historic character found in the surrounding neighborhoods. As a result, the proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses. 2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency - Southside The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Single Family. Future land uses to the east and west of this lot are Neighborhood Commercial and Institutional. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan provides the following policies and strategies: • Coordinate future land uses and development types and intensity with the Complete Streets policy, Master Thoroughfare Plan, Active Transportation Plan, and Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) Plans. • Promote appropriate infill development of vacant lots within developed areas, which will efficiently utilize existing infrastructure. • Encourage new development in character with the existing neighborhood scale, architecture, and platting pattern, while working to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access between adjacent neighborhoods and nearby destinations. As a result, the proposed zoning is not consistent (minor boundary adjustment) with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Attachments: • Area Zoning Map with 300 ft.

APPLICABLE CITY OF FORT WORTH ZONING ORINANCE PROVISIONS 4.401 Historic Preservation Overlay Districts (c) Identification and Designation of Cultural Resources 3. Eligibility for Designation a. Eligibility for HC and HC District Designations. i. Individual Property. An individual property maybe designation as HC if it meets the following qualifications: 1. Two or more of the criteria for significance; and 2. The necessary criteria for assessing integrity. EVALUATION OF SIGNIFICANCE Constructed in c. 1918, the structure at 3040 Lipscomb Street is significant for its association with massive residential growth in Fort Worth's Southside at the end of World War I in response to the discovery of oil fields to the west of the city (Criterion 1); for its association with Frank Singleton, a local master builder and architect in Fort Worth (Criterion 3); and for its association with Thelma Louise Volpert and Henry Lawrence Kleinschmidt, founder's of Kleinschmidt's Bakery who made significant contributions to the culture and developmentof Fort Worth during the early and mid-20t" century (Criterion 4). In regards to Criterion 1, the structure at 3040 Lipscomb Street is significant for its association with the establishment and growth of residential neighborhoods on Fort Worth's Southside to HCLC-20-253 house working class families that moved to Fort Worth during a massive residential construction boom that was driven by the discovery of the Ranger oil fields to the west of the city after WWI. This industry and associated residential expansion, along with the ancillary housing and infrastructure built to support it such as the workforce housing built at 3040 Lipscomb Street, played a significant role in the early cultural, economic, social, ethnic, and historical heritage of the City of Fort Worth, the State of Texas, and the United States. In regards to Criterion 3, the property at 3040 Lipscomb Street is significant for its association with Frank Singleton, a local master builder and architect in Fort Worth. Singleton designed several notable structures throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant County during his career, including Fort Worth's Saint James Baptist Church (c.1895); Swedish Methodist Church, (c. 1924) and later renamed Broadway Methodist Episcopal, and the Mary Lipscomb Wiggins House (c.1905) located in Grapevine, TX. The property at 3040 Lipscomb Street is an excellent local example of a Prairie -style architecture, featuring an elongated horizontal form, lowpitched roof, wide overhanging eaves, curved porch with hipped roof and square brick columns. This structure is an excellent example of Singleton's residential work and is unique to this area of the Southside. Singleton played a key architectural role in the early growth of Fort Worth and was one of the early local master builder/architects in the City. In regards to Criterion 4, the property at 3040 Lipscomb Street is significant for its association with Thelma Louise Volpert and Henry Lawrence Kleinschmidt, founders of Kleinschmidt's Bakery who made significant contributions to the culture and developmentof Fort Worth during the early and mid-20t" century. Thelma and Henry Kleinschmidt contributed not only to the city of Fort Worth by running a successful business for many decades (Kleinschmidt's Cake Shop), but were also humanitarians who actively strove to help the city and people prosper. EVALUATION OF INTEGRITY Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. The designation of a property must not only be shown to have significance under Zoning Ordinance, but it also must have integrity. Within the concept of integrity for example, the National Park Service criteria recognizes seven aspects that define integrity. Seven Aspects of Integrity 1. Location. 2. Design. 3. Setting. 4. Materials. 5. Workmanship 6. Feeling. 7. Association. Staff visited the property on October 30, 2020 to assess the integrity of the property. In relation to the Seven Aspects of Integrity: 1. The structure is still in its original location from when it was constructed in 1918. 2 HCLC-20-253 2. The design of the structure is still intact and identifiable. However, a portion of the front porch was enclosed at one point during the building's history, diminishing the integrity of design. 3. The structure's original setting from the 1910s is no longer extant. The largely residential neighborhood has been replaced with parking lots associated with the large church across the street. 4. The property's original materials are still extant. However, the original masonry porch columns have been replaced with metal columns, although enough evidence remains on site to inform their reinstatement. 5. The property still displays some the physical evidence of workmanship from the 1930s, such as 1 /1 wood windows, exposed rafter tails, wide over hanging eaves, and tan masonry siding. Original porch columns have been removed, although enough evidence remains on site to inform their reinstatement. 6. The property still retains its feeling as a residential building that was constructed during the oil boom and rapid residential expansion of Fort Worth during the 1910s. 7. The property no longer retains its association with the early residential expansion of Fort Worth or the Kleinschmidt family for which it was built. FINDINGS /RECOMMENDATIONS Eligibilityfor Designation The structure meets the following City of Fort Worth criteria for historic designation: Criterion 1: Is distinctive in character, interest or value, and exemplifies the cultural, economic, social, ethnic or historical heritage of the City of Fort Worth, State of Texas or the United States. Criterion 3: Has been identified as the work of an important architect or master builder whose individual work has contributed to the development of Fort Worth. Criterion 4: Has been identified with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City of Fort Worth, State of Texas or the United States Integrity Based on the evidence still extant at the property, the property at 3040 Lipscomb Street sufficiently retains five of the seven aspects of integrity (location, design, materials, workmanship, and feeling). The property does not retain integrity of setting due to surrounding demolitions or its association with the Kleinschmidt family. Summary Staff have found evidence that the property meets 3 of the 8 Criteria for Designation. The property also retains its original integrity and the identity for which it is significant. This is consistent with the requirements of the ordinance for Historic & Cultural Landmark properties. Therefore, staff recommends the following motion: K, HCLC-20-253 That the HCLC recommend that City Council consider designating the property at 3040 Lipscomb Street as a Historic & Cultural Landmark (HC) and that the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties be used when evaluating any proposed future change to the property.
