DATE: September 9, 2002
TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness to demolish a structure
FILE: CA-738
STAFF R.EFORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request. While this property is in a dilapidated
state, to demolish it would impact this block by leaving a large vacant area. Could time be given
to investigate whether the owner would be willing to donate the property to the City for the
construction of new homes if the building was demolished? The subject property consists of
three 50'x140' lots.
The City of Beaumont Clean Community Department is requesting permission to demolish the
multi -family building at 2260 Hazel. The structure was tagged substandard on November 1,
2001. Gregg Gay, the property owner, was notified in November, 2001 but the notification was
returned. As of this date, the property owner has not taken action to raze or repair the structure.
There have been numerous complaints from the neighbors regarding this structure. A different
owner was given a certificate of appropriateness for exterior renovations to this property in 1997.
The structure will be presented to City Council in the near future for their consideration. The
Clean Community/Neighborhood Services Division will be requesting a raze order from City
Council.
According to Clean Community, the structure has 50% or more damage to non -supporting
members. Clean Community has determined that the structure is suitable for rehabilitation.
The tax rolls have the structure valued at $29,720. The property is not listed in SPARE
Beaumont.
