SUBJECT: Request for approval of a partial tax exemption for 232-275 Crockett Street and
373-375 Pearl
FILE: 99-TE-13
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Crockett Street Development, Ltd. has requested a partial historical tax exemption for 232-
275 Crockett Street and 373-375 Pearl Street. These properties are included in the
National Register Beaumont Commercial Historic District and have been identified in the
1977 SPARE surveys as contributing structures to the Downtown District.
Crockett Street Development, Ltd. has agreed to pay the City of Beaumont taxes based on
an assessed value on the buildings of $1,800,000. Any taxes due to the City of Beaumont
above the $1,800,000 assessed value will be abated. The historical tax exemption is for
a ten-year period. In the event the buildings are assessed at less than $1,800,000, Crockett
Street Development, Ltd. will guarantee the City of Beaumont a payment for taxes in the
amount of $50,000.
The Crockett Street Development, Ltd. is renovating these five buildings for use as an
"entertainment center" consisting of various entertainment venues. The properties are
currently appraised at $184,760. The buildings will be rehabilitated in accordance with
the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. More than $5.7 million will
be spent to renovate the buildings.
The City of Beaumont is planning to borrow between $1,000,00041,200,000 from local
banks to finance public works improvements in the downtown area, of which $650,000
will complement the Crockett Street Project. A tax payment based on an assessed value
of $1,800,000 or a payment of $50,000 from the Crockett Street Development along with
current funds will provide for the repayment of the loan.
Exhibits are attached.

The Crockett Street Entertainment Center is a historically significant site,
which has bden recorded as historic structures in the real property records
of Jefferson County. They are contributing buildings in Beaumont's
downtown historic district and have been listed as eligible for the National
register of Historic Places. Each building will be rehabilitated in
accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation. Crockett Street Entertainment Center is in need of tax
relief to encourage its preservation. It meets all requirements of Section
25-58, Historic structure preservation tax exemption for residential and
commercial buildings. It complies with applicable zoning laws.
The preservation will involve the renovation of all five buildings.
Asbestos abatement will be performed in three of the buildings, all roofs
and skylights will be replaced, new electrical, plumbing and gas lines will
be installed, extensive structural, plaster and masonry repairs will be
carried out, all significant architectural woodwork and trim will be
preserved, three (3) new elevators will be installed, exterior balconies for
additional dining will be installed where feasible, the original storefront
designs and exterior canopies will be re-created, the back alley will be
renovated to accommodate customers, and extensive exterior lighting will
be installed for high visibility and security.
Historic Significance
In another time and era, downtown Beaumont was the center of commerce
and entertainment for all of Southeast Texas. The streets were alive and
bustling with businessmen, lawyers, soldiers, bankers and a variety of
consumers. Centered in the heart of ali this activity was the Dixie Hotel,
Mirror Shoe Shine, Payless Beauty Supply, The Tip Top Cafe and the
George Wilson Clothing Store which were constructed in the late 1800's
and early 1900's. Today, all that is left, are haunting memories of an older
generation and the cooing sounds of pigeons roosting on dusty decaying
roof timbers. Lost, but not forgotten, are the fragrant aromas wafting from
the Tip Top Cafd; the soldiers lingering at the front door of the Mirror
Shoe Shine; or the silent silhouette quietly entering one of the most
famous bordellos in Southeast Texas. Historical significance will define
itself through the memories of generations to come, but none as significant
or as provocative as the buildings on Crockett and Pearl Street.
Need for Tax Relief
The redevelopment of the five buildings is an extremely complex and
challenging redevelopment effort. To insure its preservation, it is in need
of property tax relief. The age, size, and existing deterioration of each

building will make the renovations very costly. The management and
operations of the center are also complex. After it is completed, it will
have to be managed on a very rigorous budget to meet debt obligations,
maintain affordability to varying entertainment venues and provide the
quality of services that are needed, both for the Tenants and the general
public. Without the proposed tax relief, the preservation, renovation and
long term operation of the center would not be financially feasible.
However, without jeopardizing the TIF requirements, we are therefore
proposing only a partial tax exemption. The effect of this partial tax
exemption combined with the additional tax revenue to be recognized
from each Tenant's FF&E will produce an estimated increase of $56,000
in tax revenue. Please refer to the attached Exhibit "A" for the details
regarding this computation and then at Exhibit `B" which reflects the
negative projected cash flow if the property were to be fully assessed at
$4,000,000 without any tax exemptions.

I. DETAILED STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED USE FOR THE
PROPERTY.
Once upon a time Crockett Street was known throughout the South as one of the
most famous and notorious entertainment districts. Closed by the James
Commission, the buildings have been boarded up and forgotten until now. The
excitement of the Crockett Street Entertainment District begins anew. Music,
entertainment, food and fun are returning once again to downtown Beaumont.
Crockett Street will bring a new vision to our city. This major gathering point for
all of Southeast Texas will emphasize the unique musical heritage that we have. It
will become a national attraction. The complete restoration of Crockett Street will
breathe new life into a part of Beaumont once known as the Center of Commerce
Activity and Entertainment. It will create a place for families and friends to
experience a wide range of enjoyable activities. The allure of the establishments
on Crockett Street will entice thousands of visitors to explore and enjoy the area,
whether for a performance by world renowned local performers, or to enjoy a
unique southeast Texas meal or just to stroll under the glow of old fashioned gas
lights.
A prominent feature of Crockett Street will be the 300 seat Opry House geared to
hosting everything from the hottest country music stars to Sunday afternoon
gospel music. In addition to the Opry House, there will be restaurants, coffee
shops, billiard parlors, pubs, and nightclubs located through out the five buildings.
Each venue will have live entertainment and the installation of three elevators will
allow a continuous flow of customers from one building to another on any given
floor. The alleyway behind the buildings will be renovated making room for more
strolling and entrances into the nightspots.
Crockett Street Entertainment District will become the entertainment Mecca of
Southeast Texas, drawing tourists off the Interstate to stop and discover what
Beaumont has to offer.
