FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness to demolish a residential
structure at 1916 Liberty
FILE: CA-400
STAFF REP
The Planning Director recommends approval of this request.
The City of Beaumont Clean Community Department has tagged the residential structure
at 1916 Liberty as substandard and in need of demolition. The structure was inspected and
found to be in violation of the City of Beaumont Code of Ordinances pertaining to
dangerous structures (see attached Inspection Report). The Clean Community Department
is asking that the Historic Landmark Commission grant permission to demolish this
structure.
The structure is listed in the 1989 SPARE Beaumont. The house was built c. 1920 and is
of the Craftsman style.
The City has determined that needed repairs exceed 50 % of the appraised value ($34,850
improvements - house and garage apartment; $43,330 total). The property owner has
informed the Clean Community Department that he has no intention of renovating the
building and has signed the demolition consent forms.
The Historic Landmark Commission is asked to review this structure for historical
significance and if it should be demolished.
Exhibits are attached.
