City of Beaumont
�• Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
MEETING DATE: February 3, 2004
AGENDA MEMO DATE: January 27, 2004
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential
Single Family Dwelling)to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple
FamilyDwelling)District for property located at the southwest corner
of Highway 105 and East Major Drive.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends denial of a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family
Dwelling)to GC-MD(General Commercial-Multiple FamilyDwelling)District for property located
at the southwest corner of Highway 105 and East Major Drive.
BACKGROUND
Charlie Danna, the applicant, is requesting a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family
Dwelling)District to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)District for a 0.58
acre tract of land at the southwest corner of Highway 105 and East Major Drive. The property is
currently vacant.
Mr. Danna states that the property has limited resale value with the current residential zoning and
would be better suited for commercial development.However,no specific plans are given. He goes
on to state that the property is across the street from two churches.
The Development Strategies Diagram designates this area has a Neighborhood Growth Unit. As
such, commercial uses are designated at the intersections of major thoroughfares.
The subject property is surrounded by single family residential uses to the west and south. This
"residential pocket" is surrounded by Highway 105 to the north, East Major Drive to the east and
south and the LNVA Canal to the west. In addition,RS zoning surrounds the subject property. The
nearest GC-MD zoning is on the north side of Highway 105, approximately 1,195' west and
approximately 2,680' east of the subject property.
Therefore, this request could be considered "spot zoning". The following four issues must be
resolved to determine whether a"spot zoning" situation exists:
1) The law demands that the approved zoning plan should be respected and not altered
for the special benefit of the landowner when the change will cause substantial
detriment to the surrounding land or serve no substantial public purpose. Would the
zone change be in compliance with the adopted comprehensive plan?
The subject property is surrounded by RS zoning. The Comprehensive Plan
designates this area as a Neighborhood Growth Unit. As such,commercial uses are
designated at the intersections of major thoroughfares. This request is not is
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
2) Will this change adversely impact the surrounding properties? The nature and degree
of an adverse impact upon neighboring lands is important. 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.
The subject property is adjacent to single family residential uses to the west and
south. To allow commercial zoning on the subject property could be detrimental to
the residential uses adjacent to it. If the Planning Commission and City Council
determine that this request is not spot zoning, then GC-MD-2 zoning might be
considered more appropriate.
3) Is the tract of land suitable or unsuitable for use as presently zoned? This is a factor.
The size, shape and location of a tract of land or lot may render it unusable or even
confiscatory as zoned.
The subject property could be developed as single family residential. Within the past
10 years, properties to the west with frontage on Highway 105 have developed as
single family residential.
4) Does the proposed zone change bear a substantial relationship to the public health,
safety,morals or general welfare or protect and preserve historical and cultural places
and areas? The amendatory ordinance must bear a substantial relationship to the
aforementioned considerations.
The zone change request does not meet Condition 4.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
None.
PREVIOUS ACTION
At a Joint Public Hearing held January 26,2004,the Planning Commission voted 8:0 to deny a zone
change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple
Family Dwelling) District for property located at the southwest corner of Highway 105 and East
Major Drive.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED BY
Planning Commission, City Manager, Public Works Director and the Planning Manager.

allow the opening of a driveway along Long Street to serve a self-
storage warehouse facility in a GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-
Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of the request for an amended specific use permit to allow
the opening of a driveway along Long Street to serve a self-storage warehouse facility in a GC-MD-2
(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District, subject to the following conditions:
• Access Self Storage shall construct a solid 8'high wood fence 400' along Long Street.
• Access Self Storage shall provide landscaping along Long Street.
• Access Self Storage shall install an asphalt speed bump along the existing driveway entrance
on the storage property.
• Access Self Storage shall patch the asphalt pavement along Long Street (to be determined
by the City of Beaumont and Access Self Storage).
• No signs shall be placed on Long Street.
• The existing gate on Long Street will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. only.
BACKGROUND
Scott Monroe,owner of Access Self Storage,is requesting an amendment to his specific use permit
for a self-storage warehouse facility at 250 S. Dowlen Road. The original specific use permit was
granted by the City Council in January,2002. As a condition of approval of that specific use permit,
the entrance on Long Road was to be gated and used for emergency purposes only.
Mr. Monroe states that the storage facility has lost business due to the site not be fully accessible.
After a request for a median cut on Dowlen Road, the City reviewed and denied the request. That
denial was based upon the fact that the median width adjacent to the facility is inadequate to
"shadow"a vehicle. Also, a median cut in this area would infringe into the existing turn lane built
into the median to accommodate left turns into the driveway of the adjacent shopping center. Mr.
Monroe states that since customers are not allowed to exit the facility and turn north onto Dowlen
Road,he needs the driveway on Long to provide a more convenient entrance and exit to the facility.
John Holm with Fittz and Shipman communicated with the Kingstowne West Townhouses
Homeowners Association on the possibility of opening the driveway. Both parties came to an
agreement subject to a number of conditions.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
None.
PREVIOUS ACTION
At a Joint Public Hearing held January 26,2004,the Planning Commission voted 8:0 to approve an
an amended specific use permit to allow the opening of a driveway along Long Street to serve a self-
storage warehouse facility in a GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2)
District at 250 S. Dowlen Road, subject to the following conditions:
• Access Self Storage shall construct a solid 8'high wood fence 400' along Long Street.
• Access Self Storage shall provide landscaping along Long Street.
• Access Self Storage shall install an asphalt speed bump along the existing driveway entrance
on the storage property.
• Access Self Storage shall patch the asphalt pavement along Long Street (to be determined
by the City of Beaumont and Access Self Storage).
• No signs shall be placed on Long Street.
• The existing gate on Long Street will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. only.

population estimated at 115,000, the minimum amount based on$.10 per capita would be$11,500.
Delta Airlines would provide three flights per day Monday-Friday and two flights per day on
Saturday-Sunday to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. If Delta Airlines does not
generate $5.4 million in revenue in its first year of service, the revenue guarantee will make up
the difference up to $975,000. After one full year of service, the Coalition will participate in an
audit of Delta's records to determine whether or not any of the revenue guarantee must be paid.
After the audit is complete, any funds remaining will be paid back to the contributors based on a
pro rata share.
A letter from the Southeast Texas Coalition for Air Service, LLC and additional information are
attached for your review.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The $15,000 payment would be paid out of the General Fund's fund balance. The fund balance
is projected to be $7,160,000 at the end of Fiscal Year 2004.
PREVIOUS ACTION
The City Council approved a contract with the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce on December
16, 2003 in the amount of$55,000 related to a comprehensive range of activities and projects to
create jobs in Beaumont.
SUBSEQUENT ACTION
None.

Dear Mr. Hayes:
As a leader in Southeast Texas, we know you join us in recognizing the importance of
having additional air service at Southeast Texas Regional Airport. For that reason, we
are asking you to assist us in getting Delta Airlines to provide service to and from our
airport, beginning on or about May 15. The airline industry has become much like other
businesses locating into our communities in that they are requesting a form of an
incentive. In this case, the incentive we propose is a "revenue guarantee" which will
share in the risk of the first year with Delta as they provide jet service three flights daily
to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
We are asking each city and county in our region to assist us by investing a minimum of
$30 per capita toward the letter of credit we must provide within the next 3 weeks.
These funds, combined with other public and private funds, will enable us to move
forward with signing the agreement with Delta Airlines. If direct connection to DFW is
used at the level projected by our consultants, we will not have to use these funds;
however, if usage is less than projected, pro rata amounts of the revenue guarantee will
make up the difference up to $975,000. After one full year of service, we will participate
in an audit of Delta's records to determine whether or not any of the revenue guarantee
must be paid to the airline. If service is at the level projected, all or part of the funds will
be available for return to those who make contributions.
While we realize this is a complex matter, we are prepared to meet with your key
officials to provide further details about this request. Since time is of essence, we ask
that you allow us to be on the agenda at your next meeting. In the meantime, we are
providing the attached information to help provide further insight about this request and
the benefits we can all derive from partnering to bring this much-needed air service to
Southeast Texas.
We look forward to hearing from you within the next week. Please contact Barbara
Knight at 899.1889 to schedule a time when we can meet with you.
Sincerely,
Jim Rich, President Verna Ruther+Psident

the straight facts about air service for
Southeast Texas
Why is an additional airline needed in Southeast Texas?
• Most studies and experts list air service as a key to success for growth of a region.
• Southeast Texas needs a second airline destination for economic development.
• Overall air travel is back to the level prior to September 11, 2001. Experts predict air travel
will grow 4% in 2004.
• Untold sales tax dollars are lost each time a leisure or business visitor is unable or chooses
not to fly directly to our airport through lost purchases of gas, hotel rooms, and car rentals. Air
travel from our local airport is down by almost 60%.
• A significant impact on local use will be realized with the addition of a second air carrier.
Competition with options to major hubs will revitalize the Southeast Texas Regional Airport.
• Almost 50%of the public and local business community presently drive to Houston airports
taking economic dollars from the community. With only one air carrier, we are limited to one
destination, have limited schedules, and noncompetitive prices.
For economic development, nothing is as important as
jet service—including IH-10, the river, the high bridge and the
entertainment complex, because people must be able to fly here
to use the wonderful things we have to offer:"
C.L."Sonny"Sherman,local business leader
What is being done to recruit an additional airline?
• A regional coalition of concerned leaders, representing the business community and
government, led a campaign to secure a$500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of
Transportation to develop community interest in the Airport and attract additional air service.
• A$1 million media campaign was pledged by area newspapers, billboard, television and
radio stations to promote the Airport, its air carriers, and to encourage the public to fly from
home.
`i Based on sound business practices a comprehensive
regional market study was conducted and served as the basis
for our discussions with Delta Airlines."
Aubrey Webb,Publisher of Hearst Publications
• Delta Airlines remains cautious about entering the market but realizes our region fits into their
strategy of expansion at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
• Delta Airlines is seeking evidence of community support before it provides air service to
Southeast Texas.
• Delta Airlines expects Southeast Texas to share the risk through a"revenue guarantee."
What is a '°revenue guarantee?"
• A"revenue guarantee" is simply a partnership agreement between the community and Delta
Airlines to share in the risk of providing air service to Southeast Texas.
• Southeast Texas' portion of the"revenue guarantee" is capped at$975,000 and was negotiated
based upon detailed discussions to insure competitive ticket pricing and reliability of scheduled
flights.
• Under the "revenue guarantee," Delta Airlines has agreed to begin service around May 1,
absorb all costs including the startup for equipment and training, and provide three jets daily to
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
• The "revenue guarantee" will only be used if our market study and Delta Airlines' internal
projections are not met.
• Actual accounting of revenues by Delta and local auditors will occur one year after service is
initiated. This will provide an average quotient that will include both peak traveling times and
slower periods.
• Delta Airlines has expressed their strong intention to serve of Southeast Texas for the long
term.
" The "revenue guarantee" of$975,000 is a real deal for
Southeast Texas. With the negotiations I was involved with
while I was in Brownsville, the "revenue guarantee"with
Delta was $2.6 million."
Steve Fitzgibbons,City Manager,City of Port Arthur
Where will funds come from for the needed "revenue guarantee?"
• An amendment to the U.S. Department of Transportation grant will allow around $200,000 to
be used towards the "revenue guarantee."
• Regional governmental entities will be approached for their investment in the project based on
a per capital formula.
• Local businesses and individuals will also be approached to become partners in the "revenue
guarantee."
• The "revenue guarantee" will be administered by the trust department of Community Bank in an
escrow account.
• A pro-rated share of the unused funds not redeemed under the"revenue guarantee" will be
returned to the investors at the end of the first year of operation.
