I also live in Lavaca and don't oppose the new development. From an urban planning standpoint, the density makes sense and we need to build more mixed-use structures towards Cesar. it's more sustainable for the environment to build up in such a centrally located neighborhood. I get wanting to save the administrative building, but the building serves no real purpose. Build a community center on the ground floor and then build up. We need amenities in this area and we don't have anything. We need a pharmacy, a small grocery store, more food options that aren't the expensive restaurants on Alamo. They could easily enforce a developer to build with the facade of the admin building intact. But we need to not pretend it's historical.

Side note, what kind of design are you working on?
