FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of a
structure at 2230 South
FILE: CA-531
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
The Clean Community Department inspected the structure at 2230 South and found it to
be in violation of the City of Beaumont Code of Ordinances pertaining to dangerous
structures.
The structure was tagged as substandard in June, 1999. Notification was sent to the
property owner but no work repair program was ever initiated. The structure recently
burned to such an extent it cannot be repaired.
The property is listed in the 1990 SPARE. SPARE noted that the modern use of board
and batten siding sacrificed the architectural integrity of the structure. The Texas
Historical Commission conducted a review of the property in November, 2000 and found
the property to be ineligible for the National Register of Historical Places. City Council
issued a raze order for this structure in October, 2000.
Exhibits are attached.
