FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II
SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to paint an existing concrete driveway
with terra cotta paint.
FILE: CA-2886
STAFF REPORT
Eric Lloyd Ardoin has requested a Certificate of Appropriateness to paint his driveway at 2655
Harrison with BEHR, Deep Terra Cotta PFC-10, concrete paint.
In July of 2017, Mr. Ardoin requested to skimcoat, level and paint his driveway with BEHR,
Silver Gray PFC-60, concrete paint. The CA was approved as the color very closely matches a
standard color of concrete. At some point, the sidewalk leading to the front door was painted
with the Deep Terra Cotta paint, and Mr. Ardoin would now like to paint his driveway to match
the sidewalk.
The Beaumont Code of Ordinance states that within a Historic District, paint colors must be, ". . .
based on their appropriateness to and compatibility with the structure, blockface and the historic
district."
Staff recommends denial of the request as the color is not compatible with the structure,
blockface and the historic district.
The house is not listed in the SPARE Beaumont Survey.
Exhibits are attached.
