The first phase will include repairs and renovations to the existing 2 -story building in order for the business to begin operating out ofthe first floor. The second phase will involve renovations tothe second floor So itmay b8used }Oconjunction vVitheVaDtSh8|d@tth8bUi|diOg. The proposed event CeDt8[ (434 Fannin, ||C) will primarily be used to host VVmddiOga' receptions, and -other similar events. The space may also rented by clients to serve as instructional or meeting space for various professional groups or organizations. The proposed renovationto the existing building --including the addition of large windows on the first /8Ve[ @|OOg the pedestrian rOUta--N|U make the bU)kJ|Og more inviting and will provide an aesthetic that fits perfectly into the bustling dOVVOtoVVO 8DvinoODl8Dt the City of BSsUDOoOt is fostering. The proposed design will showcase the [D8iD building's [aVK early 20th century, UUDaO f88|. The proposed improvements to the existing property are intended to enhance the property's appearance and value aSwell aSthose Ofneighboring properties. 2. That the establishment of the specific use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement ofsurrounding vacant property; The surrounding V3CGDt property or its potential development will not be affected by the establishment of the proposed specific Use. The establishment of this type of event center will hopefully encourage the development of surrounding vacant properties as there will be a greater need for businesses that cater to the types of events that will be held at this facility and at other nearby venues such as The BH8UnDODt Club, Guga'a, and the Jefferson Thosdns. 3. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary supporting facilities have been or will be provided; The existing access roads and drainage are adequate. An additional storm drain line with inlets (as DOCeasan) in proposed to be installed in the 10'-0" wide paved COUdvand between the two existing buildings to improve the drainage inthat location. The drainage oD the existing paved area which is proposed to be converted into 8 parking lot is sufficient and it should not be negatively impacted by the proposed improvements as the iDlp8rV[0Ue area will be decreasing due tothe addition oflandscape is|8Dda/peOinoU|oe. 3 The existing 2 -story building must be equipped throughout with @DNFPA13automatic sprinkler system ositwill permit the existing combustible second floor structure (wood joists and decking) to be exposed although the building is below the nOaXi0UrD area permitted under Table 506.2 of the 2015 IBC for Occupancy Group Type A-2for DOD-GphO@eFed space. With the installation of an aUtOnnGtio fire aUppF8SGiOO GystaDl. the [)VVOe[ can develop both floors of the building for mixed use Ar2 8aae0b/y occupancy, subject tothe installation of two 72" openings for egress on the ground floor /8SeUDliD0 potential oOOerg8OCy egnoSa from the second floor using the existing open et8i[C8G'-,; however, on approved second [OeeDS of egress nlUSt be added to the building. Apropoa8d new structure 0Uat be added to the property to provide asecoDd means ofegress from the second floor bfthe main building. A new electrical service is proposed to be installed OO the southwest xv@| of the OO8iO building, closer to the VVaaƒeDl oo[Dar of the building. The electrical service is planned to be fed by 8 proposed new underground line that will [UD the length of the COUrtvm[d between the two existing buildings. 4. The design, location and arrangement of all driveways and parking spaces provides for the safe and convenient movement mf vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely affecting the general public or adjacent developments; The location and arrangement of all existing driveways works well with the proposed parking lot� layout. The addition nf37off-street parking spaces (including 2accessible spaces) dedicated to the proposed event center, the FerODVal of the existing bank teller drive- hFU canopy, and the addition of8marked driveway crossing and curb n80p(S) for @Daccessible route will provide for the safe and convenient movement Ofvehicular and pedestrian traffic. Adjacent developments will not be sffeuhyd by the design, location and arrangement of the driveways as no ChGDg8S to them are proposed. The proposed parking lot will provide 8 safe and convenient alternative to street parking for event tenants and guests. 5' That adequate nuisance prevention measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise and vibration; /e proposed specific use should not give rise toany nuisances such asoffensive odor, fumes, dust, and vibration. The only foreseeable potential DUis8OC8 for this business VVOU|d be c9Uo8d by OOU8ic being played inside the [D8iO building, such as during 8VVeddiDg n8naDtioD. The Beaumont Club building (to the northeast) is the only neighboring property adjoining this property that could baaffected byany potential noise issues. The two facilities (The Beaumont Club and this proposed hospital both host similar types ofevents. Ithas been discussed with Christina [)e}o8diU0Crawford, owner OfThe Beaumont Club [TBC\.that TBC mainly hosts events during the hours of1O:OO 8.00.-0:0O p.m. E0eD[n held at this proposed event center, VVhePa noise might be a CODca[n. will [nOsf|Y occur after 6:00 p.m. It has also been decided that most events will be held at co0p|iDnGDt8[y times and not 8tconflicting times. Excessive sound transmission isaUoS from one building to the other will be addressed by the bUikjiDQ owners if it bSCODleS @ DUiGaOQa; however, the party xVG|ks (on the property /in*) separating the two buildings are [n000Ory construction, more than 1'-0" thick. and ohOU|d provide a sound t[8DsDniSaioD ol8eo (STC) rating greater than 50. EX±8hO[ noise |eVe|e will be kept to 85 dB(A) between the hDUcS Of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. 6. That directional lighting will be provided so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties; All lighting will be provided so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties. Di[eCb0n8| lighting will be installed on the existing light poles to light the p[OD0eed parking areas. New lighting wii|b8iOot8|hedtnUohtth8 courtyardand possibly the front building faoade. 7. That there are sufficient landscaping and Screening 10 ensure harmony and compatibility with adjacent property; and Of the properties that have not been recently developed O[improved in the central business district, the subject property CU[DenUv has one of the DiC0ot existing landscaping installations in dOwOtoVVD Beaumont. The existing landscaping and Sn[8aOing (and all proposed like improvements) ensure harmony and compatibility with the adjacent property. ` 8- That the proposed use is7naccordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed hospitality/event center's specific use is in accordance with the Comprehensive P|8O as it will bring more activity to the doVVDtOVVO area, it will enhance the property's curb appeal, and it will be one more asset for improving commerce in downtown Beaumont. f08 £'89 e'60tr :zed I C......8'6gr :aal llo Bg LLL Yl •Ivowneeq I gpZ alms �eptea 5868 e tow SVX31'iNownv3q I 'iSMWS654'1SNINNW3h tadd3oi ammoso awkvr €kg@3 gUer: waoiN11p]1IHDd 22: 0 a3d 3sn omoad5Ntlld 311S 1W moll eeayo aI£�w.cae'6�s` m' PJ w< S' a3N301N3A3 (13SOdOad aHI,Iry3Yw � yZ l- W Z z ¢F�O O yW'I.
