Public Hearing and consideration of a motion to consider the exterior alterations of the façade by replacing the original storefront windows with a stucco wall on Lots 8 and 9, Block 42, Western Division, located at 901 Hidalgo Street. This property is within Old Mercado Historic District. Historic District Landmark Board failed to establish quorum on June 11, 2026 (Regular Meeting) and July 9, 2026 (Regular Meeting), therefore, the item is being presented for Council consideration pursuant to Municipal Code of Ordinances Section 2-156, which states, "To the extent permitted by law, if a committee is unable to establish a quorum for a regularly scheduled meeting, the city manager may bypass the committee and place any item on the committee's agenda for that meeting on the next regularly scheduled city council meeting." (Ordinance Number 2018-O-050). Staff does not support the application. Staff recommends that the original storefront window openings be restored to maintain the historic character of the building.
