WHER.F;AS, the City Council recognizes that the City of Corpus Christi
has been particularly fortunate, not only in the natural beauty of the site
of the City, but also in the number of existing houses, buildings and districts
which reflect the varied historical; architectural and cultural inheritance
of this City; and,
WHEREAS, it is also recognized that the preservation of at least a
considerable portion of such landmarks as testimonials to the rich historical
and cultural inheritance of the City is desirable not only for the benefit
of Corpus.Christi and Texas citizens but for the attraction of tourists with
the attendant economic benefits; and,
WHEREAS, by virtue of Article 1011a, V.T.S., and other laws of the
State of Texas, and of the City Charter, the City Council is fully empowered
to establish historical- cultural landmark districts; and,
WHEREAS, it is further recognized that rapid change in population,
economic functions and land use activities has led and is leading to the
immediately increased demolition of these landmarks, of which those existing
are few in number in ratio to the size of this City and, accordingly, are of
great relative value, with the result that the City, the State, and the Nation
are thereby impoverished by such continued destruction;
WHEREAS, under Art. 7150, Vernon's Texas Statutes, as amended,
Sec. 22a (3) all real and personal property owned by a nonprofit corporation
reasonably necessary and used for restoration and preservation of historic
houses, structures, and landmarks is exempt from ad valorem taxation;

the cost of restoration or repair to achieve a fair return on the property,
the existing and potential usefulness, including economic usefulness of the
landmark, the owners' costs of maintaining and using-it, the purposes of
preserving the structure as a landmark, the character, zoning, and type of
adjacent uses, the amount and character of income earned on the landmark by
its owner(s), and the same factors, as applicable, in the proposed new loca-
tion, if removal (relocation) is requested. The Commission must finally vote
to grant or disapprove the subject certificate application within sixty (60)
days of the date of receipt of the said application by the Building Official.
The Commission Director must deposit in the U. S. Mail written notice to the
applicant of the Commission's action within not more than five (5) days after
the date of said final Commission vote, and notify the Building Official of
the action during said five -day period. The period dates from said deposit.
The Commission shall recommend the disapproval of the application
if it determines that in the interest of preserving historical or cultural
values the building or structure should not be demolished or removed, as
the case may be, and in the event the Commission recommends disapproval, it
shall suspend the application for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days
from the date of filing of the application.

to extend the suspension period for good cause. If the City Council determines
at a hearing which must be conducted prior to the expiration of the suspension
period set by the Commission and after not less than five (5) days' written
notice to the applicant, dating from deposit in U. S. Mail by the City Secretary,
that there is specified, reasonable ground for preservation, then the Council
may extend the suspension period for an additional period not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date of filing with the Community Enrichment
Director' of. the application -for demolition'or removal.
(b) During the aggregate, total period of suspension of the appli-
cation no permit shall be issued for demolition or removal nor shall any person
demolish or remove the building or structure.
(c) If at the end of the aggregate, total suspension period the
applicant, or his successors, assigns, or legal representatives, for the demo-
lition or removal permit still owns the building, structure, or premises, as
the case may be, and the applicant, or such successors, assigns, or legal rep-
resentatives desire to proceed with demolition or removal, the Building Official
shall issue the necessary demolition or removal permit, conditioned on meeting
•
applicable City Building Codes, at such then applicant's request. If the whole,
or a part, of the subject HC property (landmark), however, be then legally
protected from demolition or removal, whether by contract between the owner,
his successors, assigns, or legal representatives and another or others, by
purchase, eminent domain, lease, facade or other easement, or otherwise, then
no demolition or removal permit shall issue, as to the whole, or the part, as
the case may be. In the event only a part of the subject HC property be thus
legally protected then demolition or removal permit as to all unprotected part(s)
shall issue, conditioned on meeting applicable City Building Codes.
(d) If the Landmark Commission finds that the application for
demolition or removal should be granted, or does not take action on the completed
application within sixty (60) days of the original receipt thereof by the
Director, or fails to institute or obtain a suspension period within sixty
(60) days after date of such original receipt, then the Building Official shall
issue the permit if requested by applicant, consistent with (c) above.
No decision of the Commission relative to such application shall
be deemed a final decision during its initial ninety -day suspension period.
Sec. 11. Appeals.
(a) Any applicant or fee owner or mortgagee of the subject property
or interested person aggrieved by a final decision of the Landmark Commission
under the provisions of this Article may appeal to the City Council in
accordance with Art. V, Sec. 15, City Charter, except as otherwise provided
by law. The City Council shall finally dispose of such appeal(s) within
twenty (20) days after hearing thereon and hearing will be held within fourteen
(14) days after filing of the appeal, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, legal
holidays, or days declared in a public calamity. Statutory notice of the
hearing to be held during any Council meeting shall be sufficient notice for
all purposes, except that the applicant shall be furnished seven (7) days'

ing the subject property or taking other action afforded by law relative thereto,
