Page 2 of 11 Minutes-June 29,2010
Administration recommended approval of the zone change and the specific use permit to
allow a retail store on the southwest corner of Highland and Pipkin.
Bob Gage for GBT Realty Corporation has applied for a zone change and specific use permit.
The applicant states that the reason for the zone change is to allow a 9,000 sq. ft. Dollar
General Discount Store to be built. Under the current NC zoning,only a 4,000 sq.ft.structure
could be built. This size restriction would be impractical for the type of store that Dollar
General builds.
At a Joint Public Hearing held June 21,2010,the Planning Commission voted 8:0 to approve
a zone change from NC to GC-MD-2 District and a specific use permit to allow a retail store
in a GC-MD-2(General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2)District on property located
on the southwest corner of Highland and Pipkin subject to the following conditions:

5. Consider amending Chapter 30, Section 30-24B of the Code of Ordinances to allow child
care centers in the RS(Residential Single Family Dwelling)District with a specific use permit.
Administration recommended approval of the amendments.
In May, an application was made to allow an existing child care facility to continue operation
at 2410 Louisiana. The application included a request for a zone change from RS
(Residential Single Family Dwelling)District to RM-M (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-
Medium Density) District and a specific use permit. The zone change was necessary since
the Zoning Ordinance does not permit child care facilities with more than eight children in an
RS District. At the May meeting, staff asked that the item be deferred indefinitely.
Rather than create a situation where spot zoning would likely occur, the Planning Staff is
recommending an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that would allow child care facilities
in all residential districts subject to the granting of a specific use permit and within all
commercial and industrial districts by right.
At a Joint Public Hearing held June 21,2010,the Planning Commission voted 8:0 to approve
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance,Chapter 30, Section 30-24B, Permitted Use Table,to
allow child care centers in the RS(Residential Single Family Dwelling)District with a specific
use permit.
Councilmember Beaulieu made a motion to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE

6. Consider amending Chapter 30 and Chapter 24 of the Code of Ordinances addressing when
sidewalks will be required.
Administration recommended approval of the amendments.
Section 30-35 of the Zoning Ordinance states that no building permit shall be issued,or public
utilities extended or connected to a building or structure unless the application for the building
permit provides for compliance with the building code, fire code, zoning code, subdivision
code and other applicable codes of the City of Beaumont.
Section 24-15 of the Subdivision Regulations states that sidewalks are only required on all
"safe school routes"and on all arterial and collector streets. The sidewalks shall be installed
prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy and compliance of a lot. Normally,
sidewalks are constructed during the development of a subdivision. However, properties
subdivided prior to adoption of the Subdivision Regulations on January 22, 1980 were not
required to install sidewalks. This leaves many developable properties without sidewalks.
At a Joint Public Hearing held June 21,2010,the Planning Commission voted 8:0 to approve
the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 30 and the Subdivision Regulations,
Chapter 24, addressing when sidewalks will be required.

WORKSESSION
Review and discuss a possible Subscription Recycling Program
Tom Warner, Public Works Director, discussed the possible subscription recycling program. Mr.
Warner stated that in June of 2009, an Ad Hoc Recycling Committee was formed to look at the
possible type of recycling programs that could be implemented in the City of Beaumont. The
committee viewed several different programs such as curb side,drop off or a program that involved
a recycling bank,where residents would get credit for the material that was placed at the curb to be
recycled and would get coupons back to use at local stores. Based on a review of the recycling
programs, the committee asked that staff go out and solicit RFP's for drop-off centers for four
locations within the City. This program was similar to the pilot program that was established in the
City about a year ago. When the proposals came back and the committee reviewed the RFP's,the
committee felt that the proposals were 1)cost prohibitive and 2)they felt they really wanted to get
involved in a curb side recycle program. At the same time the proposals were being accepted, the
committee also asked that a survey be done and sent to residents through the City's water bill
systems. The proposals were received in January and the survey was completed in March. There
were over 4,100 responses, which was over 12% of the known water bill customers that are in the
City. It was discovered through the survey that there were areas throughout the city that showed
interest,there were cluster areas that were more interested in recycling than others. After speaking
with the two most interested companies, it was determined that a subscription base could be done
and a private company could handle the recycling. The first aspect was that a permit application
could be done, which would allow anyone to come in and submit an application during a period of
time, staff would review the applications based on some specific criteria.
Page 9 of 11 Minutes-June 29,2010
A company would be allowed to come in on a subscription basis,the City would not be involved and
it would have to be a exclusive contract for a period of time, specifically the vendor would need a
minimum base of 2,000 customers. The term would need to be two to four years so the company
could recoup their funds. The committee is requesting that they move forward with a permit
application and that the franchise fee be waived until the company has setup operations.
