STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Micah Cooksey, representing Eastex Sleep Solutions, has applied for a
specific use permit to allow a sleep lab in an RCR (Residential
Conservation and Revitalization) District. The property is located at
2633 North.
Mr. Cooksey states that the 1,800 sq. ft. sleep lab will consist of two
bedrooms, a reception area, work room, kitchen and a restroom
downstairs. The upstairs area will not be utilized. Hours of
operation will be 6 p.m. - 6 a.m.
Eastex Sleep Solutions is a sleep lab that monitors people while they
sleep. Mr. Cooksey states that the company=s procedures are
non-invasive. No fluids are drawn. No harmful chemicals are stored
on-site. 2633 North will be leased as a second Beaumont location
for Eastex Sleep Solutions.
In January, 2006, City Council approved a specific use permit to
allow an insurance office on the subject property. That insurance
office no longer occupies the structure.
Exhibits are attached.
