SUBJECT: Consider a request for a specific use permit to allow a boarding
house in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling) District
FILE: 2043-P
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. The applicant must provide seven parking spaces on the
subject property that meet code or get a special exception
to the parking requirement from the Zoning Board of
Adjustment.
2. Any grading for the parking lot will be done so that it
drains towards the street and not onto adjacent properties.
3. The structure will meet all fire, building and health codes
that apply to boarding houses within the City of Beaumont.
Joseph Endari has applied for a specific use permit to allow
a boarding house in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling) District. The property is located at 1557 Evalon.
The property is currently occupied by a single family residence
and an adjacent building. Mr. Endari would like to convert
these structures into a boarding house with an occupancy of
two to seven persons.
The submitted site plan shows five parking spaces at 90 angles
with a 14' wide access lane. The Transportation Engineer states
that a 24' wide access lane is required. In addition, an on-site
visit of the property shows that the site plan does not coincide
with what is on the ground. Measurements indicate that there
is 18' from the front property line to the front of the house.
Exhibits are attached.
