GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a Hertz Rental car office in a NC
(Neighborhood Commercial) District located at 3390 Harrison Avenue.
Gerald W. Farha is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a Hertz Rental car office at
3390 Harrison Ave. This property is zoned NC (Neighborhood Commercial) and has an
existing commercial structure located on the property. Hours of operation will be Monday thru
Friday, 7a.m. - 6p.m. and Saturday 10a.m. - 2p.m. Two (2) to three (3) employees will be
located in this office.
In May of 1984, the property was rezoned from Multi -Family to NC (Neighborhood
Commercial) with an SUP to allow an automobile leasing service. In June of 2012, a new
SUP was approved for an SUP to allow an employment agency. City of Beaumont
regulations state, 'A specific use permit that was issued, whether by city councilor exempted
by section 28.O4.005(d)(2) of this chapter shall become null and void, if the land use it was
issued for is closed or vacated for a period of two years or more or is changed to a
substantially different use. Due to the new SUP to allow an employment agency in 2012, a
new SUP is required.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on March 19, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended
6:0 to approve a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a Hertz Rental car office in a NC
(Neighborhood Commercial District) located at 3390 Harrison Avenue with the following
conditions:
1. No vehicles will be washed at this location.
2. All exterior lighting to be directional, so as to not affect adjacent streets or residentially
zoned properties.
Approval of the ordinance with the following conditions:
1. No vehicles will be washed at this location.
2. All exterior lighting to be directional, so as to not affect adjacent streets or residentially
zoned properties.

Louisiana Street. Ms. Worthy states that she will keep 12 children between the hours of 5:30
a.m. and 9:00 p.m. She will provide three meals and an afternoon snack for the children.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on March 19, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended

3. Consider rezoning property located at the intersection of East Lucas Drive and Helbig Road
to GC -MD -2 (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling -2).
In July of 2017, Eco -Site applied to rezone the property at 5250 Helbig from NC
(Neighborhood Commercial) to GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling).
Staff recommended denial due to the concern that rezoning this small area to GC -MD could
constitute "Spot Zoning." The Planning Commission voted 5:3 to deny the request. At the
September meeting of City Council, approval of the ordinance was unanimously denied. In
October Eco -Site requested reconsideration for rezoning, but withdrew the request. Staff
suggested seeking approval from neighbors to the south and resubmitting a request for
rezoning a larger area, adjacent to existing GC -MD zoning.
Staff chose, instead, to conduct a rezoning study to determine what should be rezoned.
Eco -Site has provided information from the apartment complex to be rezoned stating that
they are in favor of the request.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on March 19, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended
6:0 to rezone the study area, consisting of property located at the intersection of East Lucas
Drive and Helbig Road, to GC -MD -2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling - 2).
Approval of the ordinance.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, TEXAS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND PROVIDING

4. Consider rezoning the 1200 block of Gilbert Street from RCR (Residential Conservation
Revitalization) to GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling).
A recent request for a Certificate of Occupancy for the east corner of Gilbert Street and
Orange Avenue could not be approved. The current zoning of the property is RCR
(Residential Conservation Revitalization). The request was for a contractor's office with no
outside storage. This use is not permitted in RCR zoning with an SUP, therefore the only
option is for rezoning. The property along College Street is zoned GC -MD (General
Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling). The structure at the corner of Gilbert Street and
Orange Street was a less intensive commercial use and cannot be considered grandfathered
for a contractor's office with indoor storage. As this property is one block away from College
Street, and faces Martin Luther King Parkway, city staff sees the potential need to rezone
several properties through a rezoning study. The building was constructed for commercial
use prior to 1981.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on March 19, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended
6:0 to rezone the 1200 block of Gilbert Street to GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple
Family Dwelling).
Approval of the ordinance.

MOTION PASSED
Resolution 18-072
Consider granting to Entergy Texas, Inc. the right, privilege and franchise to conduct within
the City an electrical lighting and power business.
The current Beaumont and Entergy Texas, Inc. ("ETI") franchise agreement term has expired
and the franchise needs to be updated and renewed. The new agreement maintains most of
the existing language and ETI's obligations for use of the public right of way within the City.
The term of the franchise is twenty-five (25) years. There are several changes to the
franchise. First, the annual rental payments by ETI to the City for use of the right of way are
increased.
Currently, ETI makes a base franchise payment once per year and incremental franchise
payments four times per year on a quarterly basis. The incremental franchise rate has been
increased resulting in total increase franchise revenues to the City of over $900,000
annually. The second franchise change is to include an inflation adjustment clause to adjust
future franchise fee charges for changes in inflation over the life of the franchise agreement.
This inflation factor will protect against declining franchise collections over the life of the
franchise agreement.
Minutes — March 27, 2018
Approval of the Ordinance.
Councilmember Jordan moved to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO ENTERGY TEXAS, INC., THE
RIGHT, PRIVILEGE AND FRANCHISE TO CONDUCT WITHIN THE CITY AN ELECTRICAL LIGHTING AND
POWER BUSINESS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE UPON ACCEPTANCE IN WRITING BY ENTERGY
TEXAS, INC. Councilmember Samuel seconded the motion.

7.. Consider an ordinance adopting an Incremental Beaumont Franchise Fee Recovery Rider
for Entergy Texas, Inc. Electric Service Schedule FFBE.
The City of Beaumont and Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI) have negotiated a new electric utility
franchise. The new franchise changes the rate of the incremental franchise fee paid to the
City. ETI is allowed to recover its cost paid to the City through rates charged to its
customers. The Incremental Franchise Fee Recovery Rider provides the mechanism for
recovery of those incremental franchise fee costs from its customers.
Staff recommends the passage of the ordinance providing a recovery rider made necessary
by the adoption of a new franchise agreement.
Approval of Ordinance.
Councilmember Samuel moved to APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AN INCREMENTAL
BEAUMONT FRANCHISE FEE RECOVERY RIDER FOR ENTERGY TEXAS, INC., ELECTRIC SERVICE
SCHEDULE FFBE. Councilmember Sam seconded the motion.

* Review and discuss possible funding for the "buy-out," elevation and/or repair of
homes damaged by Hurricane Harvey
Chris Boone, Planning and Zoning Director reviewed and discussed the possible
funding for the "buy-out", elevation and/or repair of homes damaged by Hurricane
Harvey. Mr. Boone discussed the Hazardous Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), he
Minutes — March 27, 2018
COMMENTS
stated that the damage impact from Hurricane Harvey reported to the Stated and
Feds was 2,250 buildings with flood damage, of that number, 106 were in the 100 -
year floodplain, of that number, 43 were substantially damaged.
The City has retained Jeff Ward, with JSW & Associates to apply for and manage any
available flood "buy-out" and/or elevation grant opportunities. Recently, the Governor
announced $1.1 Billion dollars in FEMA -Hazard. Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
funding. The State is now accepting "Notices of Intent" to apply. The City should
expect the HMGP Program to include "Buy-outs" and/or elevations of "Substantially -
Damaged" buildings, "Buy-outs" and/or elevations within the existing 100 year -flood
plain and "Buy-outs" and/or elevations in the proposed 100 flood plain.
The City should take into consideration that there will be a match of 25% that can be
CDB or reduction from funds offered to the homeowners of the "Buy-out" ... or for
elevation, payment by homeowner and that all offers are mandatory, also for all "Buy-
outs" the City must mow forever and there might be gaps in certain areas of certain
neighborhoods.
The `Universe" of properties by type were discussed, those substantially damaged
properties are currently estimated at forty-four (44) with an estimated project budget
of $2,495,391 with a 25% match of $623,847. Properties in the current 100 -year
flood plain are currently estimated at sixty-seven (67) with an estimated value of
$7,265,258 with a 25% match of $1,816,314. The total properties are 106, with a
total of $9,760,649 and the 25% match of $2,440,162.
The options would be no action, buy-outs in certain areas, elevation in other areas,
there also needs to be inclusion in the new areas of the proposed 100 -year flood plain
(DFIRM) as well as the match from the owners and to wait for other programs such as
(CDBG-DR).
Staff's recommendation was as the City doesn't have the local match and doesn't
want extensive vacant properties that city will have to maintain, they recommended
the following:
Offer "Buy-outs" or elevations for those damaged within the 100 -year flood plain, but
that the 25% match will come from the owner: (cash for elevations and payment
deductions for the "buy-outs".
The next steps are to file Notices of Intent (NOI's), to conduct public meetings to try to
gauge interest, to bring the final application back to the Council and then to submit
the final application within 60 days.
