1310 W. DAVIS STREET Council District 1 Winnetka Heights Historic District COA-26-000092 Christina Paress Request A Certificate of Appropriateness to paint a mural on the West side of the brick structure. Applicant Yorleny Valderrama Application Filed 3/20/2026 Staff Recommendation That the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to paint a mural on the West side of the brick structure be denied without prejudice, with the finding of fact that the mural does not fit within the neighborhood, and the design and colors are not appropriate to the district and would have an adverse effect on the district. The proposed work is, therefore, inconsistent with preservation criteria Sec. 51P-87-117.3(b)(1)(H); City Code Section 51A-4.501(g)(6)(C)(i) for contributing structures; and/or the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Rehabilitation (District/Neighborhood). Task Force Recommendation That the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to paint a mural on the West side of the brick structure be denied without prejudice per ordinance. However, the task force notes that murals are culturally appropriate in Oak Cliff, that a smaller portion of the brick has already been painted, and that the mural is on the alley side of the building.
