Historic LandMark Commission 7/23/2026

The City of El Paso's Historic Landmark Commission held a meeting on July 23, 2026, focusing primarily on historic preservation issues within designated districts. Key procurement-related discussions involved the approval of certificates of appropriateness for exterior modifications to historic properties, including plastering rock walls and enclosing openings at 901 West Yandell Drive, and the restoration of an illegally enclosed front porch at 809 Mundy Drive. The commission approved the plastering project with conditions and required the porch enclosure to be reopened to its original configuration within three months, with no new permits issued until violations were corrected. Another agenda item concerning exterior insulation on a historic property was tabled due to the owner's absence. The meeting also included routine procedural matters such as consent agenda approval and election of a vice chair, with no direct contract awards or budget allocations discussed.
