How the commission handled motions and follow-up

Commissioners generally followed staff recommendations with the commission adding conditions where design or life-safety (egress) issues were raised. Several items were denied \"without prejudice,\" meaning applicants may provide additional information or revise designs and return for review. Where applicants presented partial documentation (for example, consultant reports or detailed shop drawings), commissioners required applicants to submit final details for staff review before permits are issued.

If you need the full text of any motion or the staff report citation used by the commission, staff indicated applicants and the public should contact the Historic Preservation office for the formal docket and supporting documents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dallas - Landmark - Apr 07, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Summary of formal motions and outcomes at the April 7, 2025 meeting of the Dallas Landmark Commission, including initiation of historic-designation reviews, approvals with conditions, and denials without prejudice.","taxTitle","Dallas, Dallas County, Texas","taxId",2781,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6612429,"Swiss Avenue homeowners win conditional approval to replace and restore windows at 6033 Vine Parkway",1678,4462000,6140000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2891489-314226639cc28d307aa7be5d6b78e07c&start=4462&end=6140","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2891489-314226639cc28d307aa7be5d6b78e07c/thumbnail_4462000.jpg","/articles/6612429/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/Swiss-Avenue-homeowners-win-conditional-approval-to-replace-and-restore-windows-at-6033-Vine-Parkway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612429-ff0683bfbbb2603712dc5ff0d194bce8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770785740&Signature=HkUhbFMj-8HRGorBZTAm3ZB3NaCNevgtoZVavKt7P9kzX84BBsfJ5V4enCWtR3dnsmudDDfNmCZhwkOusAT9m5e19yu3cinZGiAv0gtE0MaEbhqOtnWqbs9wJ1ERNRWEH0GvuGVjRTfWmXfSp28RHQC2mVDp2BWoAByBItMyE8vkmAJfjy8vhHrgPYkCXbIu-cYkBJKw2IHjofUCYn~bad~DSJgjsuuO2nOgMlgNViboQPByDSx4ZS4RWa1-Ts11pQXEmfqwGURN9yHDbKTWGHgtEtyAZQ~FJ9zGC2~sQaIsVrrX0jFeiZqAjyh6l7wMdPDgiCW0BqjvJxXRFYRjQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dallas Landmark Commission approved a conditioned plan to replace and repair windows at 6033 Vine Parkway in the Swiss Avenue Historic District, following presentations from the homeowners and preservation consultants.

Owners and contractors said many windows were damaged, missing hardware or had been removed years ago, and presented a report from a window consultant concluding many of the sashes could not be restored to operable condition. After discussion, the commission approved replacement of specified windows using the Lincoln wood-window submittal presented at the hearing and required that the front bank of windows be repaired where possible; one window in the upper front bank must be made operable to meet egress requirements.

Lee Schmidt, who said he and his wife purchased the house and have been restoring the property since November 2023, told the commission several windows had been removed for air conditioning units, some had been bricked in and some sash weights were missing due to thefts and previous damage. He said the owners had contracted a preservation window expert who concluded many of the original wood sashes were not repairable and recommended replacement for a subset of windows.

Representatives from the contractor and supplier described the proposed Lincoln primed wood windows with SDLs (simulated divided lights) designed to match the historic appearance, and the owner showed that some front windows could be salvaged but not returned to full operability. Commissioners discussed fire-code and egress requirements for bedrooms and asked whether at least one window in the master bedroom bank could be made operable; the applicant agreed to pursue a compromise that would preserve the historic appearance while ensuring code-required egress.

The motion adopted by the commission directed staff to approve the Lincoln window submittal for certain replacement openings, require repair and restoration of specified front-bank windows (numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 in the applicant numbering) and required at least one of the upper front windows to be made operable for egress. The motion included a standard condition that replacement units match existing openings, divisions and profiles.

Staff and commissioners encouraged the owners to work with local preservation window specialists referenced in discussion to explore repair options; the commission noted that further documentation and final shop drawings will be reviewed by staff to ensure the installed windows match the historic appearance.","The Landmark Commission approved replacement of some windows with a specified Lincoln wood product and ordered restoration of several historic banks of windows, with one of the upper front windows required to be operable for egress.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6612433,"Landmark Commission begins historic designation process for Mount Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church at 14000 Preston Road",962,1390000,2352000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2891489-314226639cc28d307aa7be5d6b78e07c&start=1390&end=2352","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2891489-314226639cc28d307aa7be5d6b78e07c/thumbnail_1390000.jpg","/articles/6612433/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/Landmark-Commission-begins-historic-designation-process-for-Mount-Pisgah-Missionary-Baptist-Church-at-14000-Preston-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612433-36135052f923e8b2aade8c868a7a1610/orig.mp4?Expires=1770785741&Signature=bx2zjnw0weecUfctK0Ut6HY9zTsiR8QGzY20-Vo2HB3kK14C17t4EAYXe-auOPCgny5sHsDnb2hQWr666s6s0ereHDWXY9O8QSYMJFTZTQvWgp~ZYtogqyUXlbYe06wGcTgAkHP-51Q5ZlXmApNdL2ngcccFiOcItt9An6hoAXSlz26uK0EPXQzt~~fHtd43NIUrjaEQV~9zOjrdNAVB8AReary1~0YbUKXq9SyN5vE6nJTAvd-kIpVPFVIaaf4RKwBlWLj3WXqnKK6XUuWxwL9-dTvqOSgexKA3xvFksyYZecT5jR0qf4oYWsp9MohXNLwvxQf2SFMF5caOXVTUJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dallas Landmark Commission voted to initiate the process to consider landmark designation for Mount Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church at 14000 Preston Road.

Petitioners, including church members and local historians, presented documentary material and testimony noting Mount Pisgah’s long history in the community, its ties to a freedmen’s settlement known as Alpha, and a local cemetery where founding members are interred. Commissioners approved initiation with no recorded opposition and directed staff and the designation committee to follow up.

Michael (s) Green and Elaine Johnson, among several speakers from the congregation, described documents they said date the church’s founding activities to June 19, 1864, and cited continuous occupation of the 14000 Preston Road site since an 1888 property purchase. Johnson said she prepared an application narrative and historical material for a Texas historical marker and described the congregation’s archival holdings, including artifacts and newspaper clippings now housed in a church history and archive museum.

Commissioners praised the petitioners’ research and the site’s importance to African American history in Dallas County. A commissioner moved to approve initiation of the historic designation process for 14000 Preston Road; another commissioner seconded. The motion carried with no recorded opposition. Staff told petitioners they will work with the designation committee on next steps toward formal landmark consideration, including assembling documentary evidence and scheduling public hearings.

Initiation does not by itself confer landmark status; it starts the staff review and public hearing sequence required by City of Dallas procedures. Petitioners were told they will meet again with the designation committee as the nomination advances.","Commissioners voted to initiate the historic designation process for Mount Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church, a congregation that petitioners say dates to 1864 and occupies a site tied to a freedmen’s town called Alpha.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6612438,"Dallas Landmark Commission begins historic designation process for Colonial Theatre at 1702 MLK Jr. Blvd.",634,691000,1325000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2891489-314226639cc28d307aa7be5d6b78e07c&start=691&end=1325","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2891489-314226639cc28d307aa7be5d6b78e07c/thumbnail_691000.jpg","/articles/6612438/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/Dallas-Landmark-Commission-begins-historic-designation-process-for-Colonial-Theatre-at-1702-MLK-Jr-Blvd","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612438-b4d5935b40f84a7a6a98e444efdf03ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1770785741&Signature=SZTD7-1cAsqYKikc2nC7SHYuTlfxWTqnhGij4ZXjh~9p86QV3Cvlx7CIjUFxII7OYTV4fhr6ptH9qMJZ-orzT90elGc3YlRrexS5r0IBqW0JwEIzaDRVkHd8R3fB2NcJDBiVM1zImnen4~wlZWN3cCNlhBzp~zxbyZHf1mEiDB-CT1QUQ~jsbkkvoVBVX62~QuCstL10nD5IlQiNnwTufmI0fhPWtQcuuuc5HYUJSyEmaZFaviWEt8kU-TQWhYNTbMhXxR~gE10Coo-kU5GhgO1M-7j8ylZ0NYHLa85Deq5g47Cfpw7NJcyucug~BpZykxDav5WnDfFbLat6lgl~pg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dallas Landmark Commission voted to initiate the historic designation process for 1702 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, known historically as the Colonial (later Forest) Theatre.

The motion to begin the designation process passed with no recorded opposition after owners and family representatives presented documentation and described plans to rehabilitate the building for community job-training and career services.

The initiation hearing was introduced by Michael Flowers of city staff, who described the request as a petition to open the formal landmark designation process for the Colonial Theatre. Property owners Chanel Sampson and Kim Stanley spoke in favor of the initiation. Sampson said the owners were presenting the petition on behalf of family members and noted their intention to continue preserving the building’s legacy. Stanley summarized archival research indicating the theater’s original construction in 1915, its operation by Carl and George Hobitzel, its later identification as the Forest Theatre around 1929, and its long history of community uses including a nightclub and retail uses.

Sampson said the family is renovating the building to become a Jack and Jill Center Career Center offering job training, skill development and entrepreneurship opportunities for the Dallas community. Commissioners asked clarifying questions but raised no objections. Commissioner Livingston moved to approve initiation of the designation process; Commissioner Reeves seconded. The commission then voted in favor and the motion carried.

Next steps include working with the Landmark Commission’s designation committee to prepare a report and public hearing materials as the formal designation process proceeds. Staff noted owners will be contacted by the designation committee with details about timelines and required documentation.

Votes and procedural notes from the meeting: the commission recorded support for initiation with no opposition. Commissioners Offit and Hinojosa were online for parts of the hearing; Commissioner Livingston (who originally sponsored the case) participated prior to the vote.

The commission’s initiation vote does not itself establish landmark status; it begins the statutory designation process that includes staff reports, hearings and additional documentation.","The Dallas Landmark Commission voted to start the formal designation process for the Colonial (Forest) Theatre at 1702 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard after property owners presented historical documentation and a plan for reuse.","actionData","errors"]
