TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request to rezone a piece of property to be used as a driveway from
GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) to RM-H (Residential
Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density).
FILE: 2236 – Z
___
STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends approval of this request.
Dylan Blackshear has submitted a minor plat to divide the property located at 7110
Highway 105 into four (4) pieces. The property will consist of three (3) lots along the
highway as well as one large lot in the rear. Although the rear lot is zoned RM-H
(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density), the driveway, or flag, of the
rear lot is currently zoned GC-MD (General Commercial Multiple Family Dwelling).
City of Beaumont subdivision regulations state:
"All lots shall abut a public or private street and shall abut the street no less than the
required lot width for that lot..."
Minimum lot width in GC-MD Districts is 75 feet, which would force the "flag" to be 75
feet wide. Mr. Blackshear is asking to rezone the driveway, or "flag", from GC-MD to
RM-H, matching the rear lot. Minimum lot width for RM-H is 50 feet. A 50 foot wide
driveway should meet all requirements for traffic accessing the rear lot with the same
zoning district.
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.
