HomeMy WebLinkAboutCA-1155 DATE: April 10, 2006 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness to allow a prefab metal carport/storage building. FILE: CA-1155 STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request. Yvonne Sharpton, the property owner, is requesting a certificate of appropriateness to allow a prefab metal carport/storage building at 2501 Hazel. Originally, a small building housing a beauty shop was located where the carport now stands. That building was destroyed by Hurricane Rita. No building permit was issued for the carport. Section 30-21.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that accessory buildings must be compatible with the scale, shape, roof form, materials, detailing and color of the building. This carport does not meet these requirements and is clearly seen from the street. In addition, the carport is extending into the right-of-way and therefore, must be moved, even is approved by the Landmark Commission. The property is listed in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont survey. Exhibits are attached.
