Home My WebLink About572-OBPi DATE: March 9, 1998 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT: Request to consider amendments to Sec. 30-21.2(g)(1)h, Color and Sec. 30- 21.2(g)(1)j, Facade Materials, of the City of Beaumont Zoning Ordinance FILE: 572-OB NOTE: This item was deferred from the meeting of February 9, 1998. STAFF REPORT For some time now, the enforceability of that section of the historic district regulations pertaining to paint colors has been under question. The way the ordinance is now written leaves much open to interpretation both in acceptable paint colors and enforcement. The Chairman of the Historic Landmark Commission appointed a Paint Subcommittee to develop a recommendation on amendments to the ordinance. Basically, the subcommittee recommends that Sec. 30-21.2(g)(1)h be amended to include an approved dominant paint color range. Staff can approve dominant colors that fall within that color range. Any thing that differs from that color range will require Historic Landmark Commission approval. The acceptable color range consists of neutral colors, i.e. various shades of whites, beiges and grays (See enclosed list. Staff was unable to get true color reproductions of these colors. Color swatches will be available at the meeting.) The list reflects the names and color numbers of the Sherwin-Williams Paint Co. These names and numbers would be for reference only. This would be made clear to the property owner. Any brand of paint could be used. In addition, exhibits showing acceptable trim colors for each dominant color can be generated (See "Row House Tan" example). The ordinance would also be amended to require that the painting of a structure, whether the same or a different color, would require review and approval of a certificate of appropriateness. In addition, the ordinance would be amended to allow fiber cement siding products that look like wood siding as an acceptable facade material. Exhibit is attached (Deletions are shown with a line through the sentence and additions are shown with shading) Color. (ii) Brick Surfaces.
