Historic Landmark Commission 10/15/2026

The City of El Paso Historic Landmark Commission met on October 15, 2026, to consider two certificates of appropriateness. At 3014 Copper Avenue, the applicant proposed a six-foot horizontal wood privacy fence, located between the homes and designed to match the house trim. The transcript records a motion to approve, but does not capture the vote outcome. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, or procurement activity were identified.

The commission approved improvements to the public right-of-way in front of the historic Crest building at 108 East Mills Avenue. The two-phase project includes sidewalk and parkway repairs and level concrete surfaces to address pedestrian safety before Winter Fest, followed by landscaping, additional sidewalk work, and a freestanding fence for a potential outdoor café. The applicant noted that a proposed nine-foot right-of-way vacation would leave a 19-foot public walkway; any café use would require separate permits. The motion to approve both phases passed, with no opposition recorded.
