REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider an ordinance approving amendments to
Section 28 of the Zoning Ordinance related to fencing and
review procedures within a historic district; the storing of
mobile food units in residential districts and the prohibition
of using 18 wheeler trailers for storage in certain districts.
BACKGROUND
The Historic Landmark Commission requested that staff consider making changes to the fencing
requirements within the historic district regulations after a sheet metal fence was constructed in
the Oaks Historic District. In addition, the Historic Landmark Commission considered re-
inserting portions of the review procedures for certificates of appropriateness after those portions
had inadvertently been left out during a previous amendment. The Historic Landmark
Commission approved the following changes on December 10, 2012.
Staff also is recommending changes to the Zoning Ordinance that deal with recent issues that
staff has dealt with. One change deals with the prohibition of storing mobile food units in
residential districts. The second change deals with the prohibition of using eighteen(18)wheeler
trailers for storage in all districts but LI and HI.
The recommended changes are as follows:
Sec. 28.03.018(g)(3)(F)

permit.
These amendments will make the City of Beaumont Zoning Ordinance conform to the State of

REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution to reallocate $21,711 from
the 2008 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)
Program Year and$6,546 from the 2009 CDBG Program
Year and transfer these funds to a new Public Services line
item for Jehovah Jireh Village CDC, Inc. in the 2011
Program Year.
BACKGROUND
As a result of flooding caused by Hurricane Ike, approximately twenty-five (25) houses were
flooded between Pine Street and the Neches River. In an effort to provide relief to this area of
repeated flooding,the City applied for and received a grant to offer a voluntary buyout of these
properties. To provide for the local match for the grant, Community Development Block
(CDBG) funds were budgeted for the local match for all of these houses. In the end, only twelve
owners accepted the buyout and the program has come to a close. With a balance remaining,
these funds are now available for reallocation to other eligible activities.
Recently, a request from Jehovah Jireh was made for funding assistance to allow for the
continuing operation of the community center at the L.L. Melton facility located at 3455 Sarah
Street. Jehovah Jireh began offering community center services following the withdraw of the
YMCA in 2010. A reallocation of$21,711 from 2008 CDBG Program Year and $6,546 from
the 2009 Program Year to a new Public Services line item in the 2011 Program Year would
allow for the reimbursement of utility expenses associated with the community center.
