FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for an amended specific use permit to allow
the expansion of a medical office in an RM-H (Residential
Multiple Family Dwelling-High Density) District
FILE: 1997-P
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
condition:
1. The building shall meet all building code requirements
and shall be securely fixed to a permanent foundation.
Dr. John Webb, representing Beaumont Medical Clinic, has applied
for an amended specific use permit to allow the expansion of
a medical office in an RM-H (Residential Multiple Family
Dwelling-High Density) District. The property is located at
5220 Eastex Freeway.
In August, 1986, City Council approved a specific use permit
to allow a parking lot on the subject property. The parking
lot was to serve the Medi-Quick Medical Care Centers medical
office that was located at 5220 Eastex Freeway. At that time,
the property was also rezoned to RM-H.
Beaumont Medical Clinic, the current tenant, has moved a 2,016
sq. ft. portable commercial building onto a portion of the rear
parking lot to augment the existing medical practice. A
building permit was applied for on July 3, 2007. The building
had been moved to its present location approximately seven days
prior to the permit application.
Dr. Webb states that the building will be open from 8:30 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. An 7' tall wood screening fence exists along the
north property line and a portion of the east property line.
Staff has been informed that the building will be at this
location for two years. However, windstorm requirements
require that the building be placed on a permanent foundation.
With the placement of the building, the parking lot is being
re-arranged to accommodate 39 parking spaces. Twenty-two
parking spaces are required for the existing building and the
new addition.
Exhibits are attached.
