STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. A sidewalk be installed at College Street.
2. A 6 foot wide landscaped strip be installed at the property line along College Street.
ESDM, Inc., on behalf of Beaumont Emergency Center, would like to construct a helipad
at 4004 College Street. The estimated use will be one flight per day.
In an effort to clean up the split zoning of the property, the applicant has submitted a
request to rezone the LI (Light Industrial District) portion of the property, to GC-MD
(General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling District). The heliport could be
allowed in either zoning district with a Specific Use Permit.
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.
