BACKGROUND Mr. Fontenot submitted a prior request for a rezoning and specific use permit to allow sand blasting at this location. On October 7, 2014, City Council denied the request, but indicated they would consider an application with a request for a rezoning of a reduced area. The Fontenots own approximately forty (40) acres at 7625 Washington Blvd., their original request was for ±21.51 acres, enclosed is a request for 2.13 acres. The Fontenots purchased this property approximately fifteen (15) years ago and immediately opened for business. Staff has no record of permits pulled for this business. The property includes a barn, used for their sandblasting business, which is located in an area previously used for oil and gas drilling. Mr. Fontenot contends that this oil and gas drilling operation created a "dead zone" where vegetation no longer grows, making the land unsuitable for agricultural purposes. The proposed use employs two or three employees and operates from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Sand blasting is considered similar to other metal working uses for the purposes of zoning. While it is understandable that the rezoning of a smaller area would possibly reduce the negative effects from the sandblasting on the neighboring residential properties, the reduction in the area to be rezoned fits the definition of "spot zoning" to an even greater extent. Texas Municipal Law defines "Spot Zoning" as, "A piecemeal zoning amendment that arbitrarily singles out a small tract for special treatment ... Lots that are rezoned in a way that is substantially inconsistent with the zoning of the surrounding area, whether more or less restrictive, are likely to be invalid according to the Texas Supreme Court case, City of Pharr v. Tippitt'." Furthermore: 1616 s. w.2d 173 (Tex. 1981). rev'g 600 S.W.2d 951 (Tex. Civ. App. Corpus Christi 1980). The request is not in compliance with the comprehensive plan. The subject property is designated as a neighborhood growth unit. 2. The request is not consistent with the zoning or land use of the surrounding area, existing uses in the area are primarily residential. While it is unfortunate that the business is not allowable in this zone type, the zoning pattern is predominantly RS. In addition the surrounding land use is residential to the north, Crescent on Walden is located to the southeast and land to the west and northwest have been developed residentially. 3. Rezoning would not serve a public purpose furthering public health, safety, morals or general welfare. At a Joint Public Hearing held Decemberl5, 2014, the Planning Commission recommended 7:0 to deny a zone change fi•om RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to C -M (Commercial - Manufacturing) District or a more restrictive zoning district with a specific use permit for a sandblasting shop at 7625 Washington Boulevard.

Y oes scy cvyocslawfirm.com Via First Class Mail �tW NOV 19 ng OF SFA�UMC)t4.r "LAN !!A!G vtb'lSIQtJ We are hereby applying for a zoning change and a special use permit under Chapter 28, City Code, of the City of Beaumont Zoning Regulations to use approximately 2.13 acres out of the 40 acres owned by Dean and Jane Fontenot as a sandblasting shop on property located within a residential zone at 7625 Washington Boulevard, Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas. There are three (3) shops that serve multi -purposes for the Fontenots that are located on approximately 2.13 acres within the 40 -acre tract. The shops are used for property maintenance, care of livestock and as a sandblasting shop. The Fontenots have owned approximately forty (40) acres of land on Washington Boulevard in the City of Beaumont for approximately fifteen (15) years. As you probably know, the land was previously used for oil and gas drilling operations and agricultural purposes. The actions of the drilling company caused the land to become littered with debris and created "dead zones" where vegetation no longer grows. Although the Fontenots have cleaned up the land, "dead zones" still remain. Beginning in 1997, the Fontenots have utilized the land as their home, raised livestock and operated their sandblasting shop in a barn behind their home. The business employs two to three employees. On average, two (2) trucks per month deliver materials to be sandblasted and pick up finished materials. The business is fully permitted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. There have been no complaints regarding the business in the fifteen (15) THE YOEs LAw FIRM, L.L.P. Board Members Planning & Zoning Commission November 17, 2014 Page 2 years that the Fontenots have operated their business at the site. The adjacent property is zoned either light industrial or residential. Relating to the proposal, please refer to the enclosed site plan/plat drawn to scale containing the following required information: 1) Boundaries of the area covered by the site plan, 2) The location of each existing and proposed building and structure in the area covered. by the site plan and the number of stories, height, roof line, gross floor area and location of building entrances and exits; 3) The location of existing and proposed drainage ways and significant natural features (see enclosed photograph). There are no drainage issues with the property. 4) Proposed required landscaping and screening buffers (see enclosed photograph). The Fontenots request that any applicable requirement for more fencing be waived as the location is in the middle of their 40 acres. The sandblasting is not visible from any adjacent property. 5) The location and dimensions of all curb cuts, public and private streets, required parking, and loading areas, pedestrian walks, lighting facilities, and outside trash storage facilities (see attached plat); 6) The location, height and type of each existing or required wall, fence, and all other types of screening (see enclosed plat). The Fontenots request that any applicable requirement for more fencing be waived as the location is in the middle of their 40 acres. The sandblasting is not visible from any adjacent property. 7) The location, height and size of all proposed signs (Section 28.04.003). Also enclosed is a reduced 8 '/z" x 17" photocopy of the site plan. Please note that the site plan shows three (3) buildings that appear to be located on the 21.514 acre tract outside of the 2.13 acre tract. These buildings are actually located within the 2.13 acre tract but are depicted on the drawing in an effort to make the building dimensions easier to see. The aerial photograph provides a more accurate representation of the locations of the buildings. Please find enclosed and fully incorporated in this correspondence a plat of the premises as well as the aerial photograph. Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 28.04.001, the Fontenots hereby confirm that the following eight (8) conditions have been met: THE Ym.s LAw Flint, L.L.P. Board Members Plannin- & Zoning Commission November 17, 2014 Page 3 1) That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property, nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity; 2) That the establishment of the specific use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property; 3) That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary supporting facilities have been or will be provided; 4) The design, location and arrangement of all driveways and parking spaces provides for the safe and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely affecting the general public or adjacent development: 5) That adequate nuisance prevention measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise and vibration; 6) That directional lighting will be provided so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties; 7) That there are sufficient landscaping and screening to insure harmony and compatibility with adjacent property; and 8) That the proposed use is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to the public interest. Literal enforcement of the chapter will result in unnecessary hardship because of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, shape, topography or other extraordinary or exceptional physical situation or physical condition unique to the specific piece of property in question. "Unnecessary hardship", meaning physical hardship relating to the property itself as distinguished from a hardship relating to convenience, financial considerations or caprice, and the hardship has not resulted from the applicant's or property owner's own actions. In fact, should the Fontenots not be allowed to continue their business in its present location, the land will once again become the eyesore and community nuisance it was when the Fontenots purchased it. By granting the variance, the spirit of the chapter will be observed and substantial justice will be done. As the Board is also well aware, the surrounding land owners have voiced no objections or opposition to the Fontenots' continued operation of their sandblasting business on the subject forty (40) acres of land. In fact, the Council has received support from the adjacent owners, including the investment group led by Sam C. Parigi. The only individuals who seem to have issues with the business are those within the Planning and Zoning Department. Apparently, the TIDE YoEs LW' FIRNi, L.L.P. Board Members Planning & Zoning Commission November 17, 2014 Page 4 Fontenots have ruffled some feathers within the Department concerning the operation of their business without a certificate of occupancy for more than fifteen (15) years. I assure you that had the Fontenots known that a certificate of occupancy was required, they would have made application long ago. During the last Council meeting some of the members of the Council wondered how to limit the future' use of the Fontenots' property without further zoning modifications. In discussions with the Fontenots I have learned that they intend to accomplish the goal using deed restrictions aimed at limiting the use of their property for all future owners. This should eliminate any concerns about future use of the property. I hope that each of you will take this review under advisement in deciding the future of the Fontenots' business and its continued involvement in our City. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, I i Stuart C.

BACKGROUND Replacement vehicles are requested through the City's budget process. The Fleet Manager reviews the requests and evaluates the vehicles to be replaced. Based on this evaluation, a recommendation is made to replace worn and obsolete vehicles that are no longer cost effective to operate. The vehicles to be purchased are replacing models ranging from 1991 to 2009. The newer vehicles may be reassigned by the Fleet Division where appropriate. The older vehicles will be disposed of in accordance with the City's surplus equipment policy because age and mileage render them unfit for continued service. Pricing was obtained through the Texas Association of School Boards (BuyBoard), a cooperative purchasing association providing cities and political subdivisions with the means to purchase specialized equipment at volume pricing. BuyBoard complies with State of Texas procurement statutes. The total purchase price includes the BuyBoard fee of $400 which is paid to the vendor. Warranties of 36,000 miles or three (3) years are provided for each new vehicle. Warranty service is provided by local authorized dealerships. Delivery is expected within sixty (60) to ninety (90) days. FUNDING SOURCE Capital Reserve Fund., Water Utilities Fund, Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund, and Auto Theft Task Force Grant.
