HomeMy WebLinkAbout2338-Z DATE: April 16, 2018 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a request for a rezoning study of a portion of property in the 3300 block of East Lucas Drive. FILE: 2338 – Z ___ STAFF REPORT In April, staff conducted a rezoning study of property at the intersection of East Lucas Drive and Helbig Road. The property in question was rezoned to GC-MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling - 2). This rezoning left a triangular shaped portion of GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) property near the intersection of East Lucas Drive and Bigner Road. In the interest of not leaving this odd portion of zoning along East Lucas Drive, and at the request of Beaumont City Council, staff is conducting a zoning study of the remnant. Planning staff recommends rezoning of the study area to GC-MD-2, to match the adjacent property which was recently rezoned. 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.
