A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, ACCEPTING THE PROPOSED 2016
HISTORIC RESOURCE SURVEY AND REPORT.
WHEREAS, a Historic Resource Survey documents historic resources through fieldwork
and research. And each historic resource is documented with photographs, maps, and a written
description on a form. Undertaking a survey to identify historic resources acknowledges that
these resources have value to the community and future generations. Historic resources provide
character, continuity and a sense of uniqueness to the community; and
WHEREAS, Cox I McLain Environmental Consulting, Inc. (CMEC) was retained by the
City of Georgetown in December 2015 to conduct a Historic Resources Survey. This work
included an update of the 1984 and 2007 surveys, and a new survey of resources constructed in
1974 or earlier. The year 1974 was selected because high-resolution aerial images of
Georgetown were available from this year, and allowed CMEC to compare the historic aerial
images with current aerial images to determine whether resources are historic -age; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 survey was conducted within an area roughly bounded by
Interstate 35 to the west, State Highway 130 to the east, the City limits to the south, and Farm -
to -Market Road 971 to the north; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 survey, documented a total of 1,676 resources. The survey
categorizes properties as contributing and noncontributing properties, as outlined in the
recently adopted Unified Development Code amendments; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 Historic Resource Survey was reviewed by the Historic and
Architectural Review Commission and acceptance was recommended on August 24, 2017;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, THAT:
