SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of a
residential structure located at 2363 Hazel.
FILE: CA-331
The City of Beaumont Clean Community Department has tagged the single family structure
at 2363 Hazel 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. The Clean Community Department is asking that the Historic
Landmark Commission grant permission to demolish this structure.
The property is listed in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont survey. SPARE states that the
structure was built c. 1939 and is of the Colonial Revival style. The house was in good
condition in 1991 but has deteriorated since. The owner has entered into two work
programs with the City. While some work has been done, the structure has not been
brought up to code. Both work programs have expired. Neighbors have complained to
the City about this structure.
The Texas Historical Commission has determined the structure to be eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places as early 20th Century residential properties eligible
under Criterion C at the local level of significance.
The City has determined that the estimated cost of repairs will exceed 50% of the value of
the property ($4,200 improvements; $9,710 total).
The Historic Landmark Commission is asked to review this structure for historical
significance and if it should be demolished.
Exhibits are attached.
