STAFF REPORT
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 council or exempted by section
28.04.005(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.
Staff recommends approval 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.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans
and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
