STAFF REPORT
Planning staff recommends approval.
James Amy, owner of the parcel located at 7255 Highway 105, is requesting a zone
change from R-S (Residential-Single Family Dwelling) District to GC-MD (General
Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District. He is asking for this change due to
some interest in his property for commercial uses, which are not allowed based on current
zoning.
Highway 105 is a major thoroughfare in northern Beaumont, and the area surrounding the
intersection of Major Drive and Highway 105 has experienced significant commercial
development in the recent past. The properties to the north and west have already
transitioned into commercial uses and are zoned GC-MD, while the properties to the east
and south are residential.
Exhibits are attached.
