STAFF REPORT
Hughen / Bob Hope School is requesting an amended Specific Use Permit to allow the expansion
of a school on the south side of Park North Drive. In September of 2017, the applicant received
a Specific Use Permit for a school at this location. The northeast most piece of property and the
most southern portion of the property were not included in that request. The attached site plan
shows these newly added areas intended for parking and recreation.
The grade levels will range from Pre-K to 9th grade. Ten to twelve modular buildings would be
installed, initially, designed to accommodate up to 360 students and staff. The school has
future plans to construct a permanent facility and remove the modular buildings in the future.
A new Specific Use Permit would need to be submitted for all future plans.
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions:
1. Meet all Drainage District #6 drainage requirements. (see attached)
2. Sidewalk must be provided along Park North Drive.
3. Landscaping must be provided to meet ordinance requirements for parking areas and buffers.
4. Dumpster must be screened completely from street with fencing and landscaping, and located
a minimum of 25' from adjacent properties.
5. Ensure all portable buildings will be accessible via ADA guidelines from the parking lot drop
off area.
6. Modular buildings must meet all City of Beaumont building code requirements.
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.
