Bonczek, City Manager PREPARED BY: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager MEETING DATE: April 23, 2002 AGENDA MEMO DATE: April 16, 2002 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request to amend the Zoning Ordinance, Section 30-24B, Permitted Use Table, to delete eating and/or drinking places with adult entertainment and video tape rental businesses that rent adult video tapes from the RCR,NC,NSC,GC-MD,GC-MD-2 and GC-MD-3 Districts, redefine measurements between adult entertainment uses and dwellings instead of residential zoning district boundaries, establish a distance of 1,500 feet between adult entertainment uses and a dwelling, church, child care facility, school, hospital, public building or public park and define the method of measuring the distance between an adult entertainment use and other uses. RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval to amend the Zoning Ordinance, Section 30-24B, Permitted Use Table,to delete eating and/or drinking places with adult entertainment and video tape rental businesses that rent adult video tapes from the RCR,NC,NSC,GC-MD, GC-MD-2 and GC- MD-3 Districts, redefine measurements between adult entertainment uses and dwellings instead of residential zoning district boundaries, establish a distance of 1,500 feet between adult entertainment uses and a dwelling, church, child care facility, school, hospital, public building or public park and define the method of measuring the distance between an adult entertainment use and other uses. BACKGROUND Staff has identified the need for a number of changes to the Zoning Ordinance in order to clarify in which zoning districts adult entertainment uses are permitted and the method by which the distance between adult entertainment uses and other uses is measured. There is also a need to make the Zoning Ordinance and Article VI, "Sexually Oriented Businesses", of the City Code of Ordinances conform in relation to what distance an adult entertainment use may be from a dwelling,church,child care facility, school, hospital, public building or public park. Currently,the Zoning Ordinance allows an eating and/or drinking place with adult entertainment and video tape rental businesses that rent adult video tapes in RCR, NC,NSC, GC-MD, GC-MD-2 and GC-MD-3 Districts by right or with a specific use permit. Staff recommends that Sec. 30-24B, Permitted Use Table, be amended to delete, as an allowed use either by right or with a specific use permit, the aforementioned uses from said zoning districts. This would clear up any interpretation conflicts that may occur.

PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 23rd day of April, 2002. - Mayor - 6 April 23, 2002 Council consider approving a request to adopt the South Park Neighborhood Sketch Plan Cit y of Beaumont � c Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager PREPARED BY: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager MEETING DATE: April 23, 2002 AGENDA MEMO DATE: April 16, 2002 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request to adopt the South Paris Neighborhood Sketch Plan. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Manager recommends adoption of the South Park Neighborhood Sketch Plan. BACKGROUND The South Park Neighborhood Sketch Plan contains sections addressing existing neighborhood conditions,suggestions or proposals for future actions, goals and objectives similar in content to other adopted neighborhood plans, and a final section entitled "The Next Step: An Action Plan." The last section of the plan is intended to encourage neighborhood stakeholders and specifically the South Park Neighborhood Association to prepare a"5-Year Strategic Action Plan"for implementing the proposals within the South Park Neighborhood Sketch Plan. It is in the action plan that neighborhood stakeholders will identify their priorities in addressing current problems and implementing long-term efforts to achieve their vision of South Park years in the future. The proposed Sketch Plan supports the provisions of the current Major Street and Highway and Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plans. It also emphasized the importance of the relationship of Lamar University to the future redevelopment of the South Park area as well as the importance of the revitalization of the South Park area to the future growth of Lamar University. Goal 11 of the text specifically addresses this concern. The plan also proposes that many future actions,i.e.,studies and subject specific plans,be implemented over the ensuing years. It is those"future" actions that would actually achieve the revitalization of the South Park area. One example of such a firture action is the proposal that the City's current development regulations,which require suburban design standards not in character with some portions of South Park, be reviewed and modified in their application to the South Park area or some portion thereof. The intent would be to require that future infill development be more in character with the historic physical character of the area where they are proposed to be located. Another suggestion of the sketch plan is the proposal that "conservation districts" be considered for implementation in some portions of the neighborhood. Other Texas cities have used this technique to stabilize and renovate neighborhoods not appropriate for the establishment of an historic district. The Sketch Plan is intended to serve as a guide in implementing a systematic approach to revitalizing the South Park area over the next five to seven years in a manner consistent with the plan's twenty plus year vision for the area BUDGETARY IMPACT None. PREVIOUS ACTION At a joint Public Hearing with City Council held April 15,2002,the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve the South Park Neighborhood Sketch Plan. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None.

VCRGRNTcg D City of Beaumont 7Lj1j Council Agenda Item TO: City Council FROM: Stephen J. Bonczek, City Manager PREPARED BY: Kirby Richard, Central Services Director MEETING DATE: April 23, 2002 AGENDA MEMO DATE: April 17, 2002 REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval to award a bid for the purchase of one (1) atomic absorption spectrometer for use by the Water Utilities Division. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends award of a bid for the purchase of one (1) atomic absorption spectrometer in the amount of$55,055 to Varian, Inc. of Walnut Creek, California. BACKGROUND The spectrometer is a measuring instrument used to monitor metal content in the City's drinking water supply. The Water Production Plant's previous spectrometer was utilized for 17 years, and was taken out of service in March, 2000, due to unavailability of repair parts. Limited testing and monitoring has since been performed either using the Water Reclamation Plant's spectrometer or sending samples to private laboratories. This requires samples to be transported and tested before results are known. Replacement of the Water Production unit will allow immediate test results on samples, and will enhance monitoring of the water supply. The unit will also allow citizens to have an avenue for testing of their water if they suspect metal intrusion. Bid notices were provided to six (6) vendors, with only Varian, Inc. responding with a bid. The unit quoted is a Varian SpectrAA 220FS, with a 35 day delivery time. The unit carries a one (1) year parts and labor warranty. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds are available for this expenditure in the Water Utilities Fund. PREVIOUS ACTION None.
