Home My WebLink About2416-PDATE: July 20, 2020 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: To consider a request for an Amended Specific Use Permit to allow the expansion of an air conditioning supply warehouse in a GC -MD (General Commercial — Multiple Family Dwelling) District. FILE: 2416-P STAFF REPORT M.O. Kothawala, representing M & B Investments L.P., is requesting an amended S.U.P (Specific Use Permit) to allow the expansion of a wholesale heating and air conditioning supply business located at 980 N. M.L. King Pkwy. In 1997. City Council approved an S.U.P to allow the existing wholesale heating and air conditioning supply business in 2007. A Variance for setbacks along the north and east property lines was also approved by the Board of Adjustment. The new building will provide an additional 5,000 square feet of space. The previous Amended SUP was conditioned on a six (6) foot wide landscaping strip along the west side of the parking area. The additional parking was added, but the landscaping was not. In addition, staff has become aware of a possible issue with the south property line and therefore the required parking. This issue could be resolved by adjusting the site plan and if need be the parking lot, or by purchasing the lot to the south. Staff recommends approval with the following condition: 1. Provide a six (6) foot wide landscaped strip along the west side of the parking lot between the two (2) driveways as per City of Beaumont Ordinance requirements. 2. Provide an eight (8) foot tall, wood or masonry screening fence along the east property line. 3. Show sidewalk on site plan. 4. Resolve issues with the property line to the south. 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.

I received a specific use permit with the city council and the zoning was changed to GCMD. This property is now leased to Winsupply, a wholesale HVAC company. They sell heating and air conditioning parts, supplies and equipment. They have been in the building since January of 2019. The business is doing very well and they need more warehouse space to have more inventory for their customers need. This means more sales tax dollars for the city. I have attached a proposed drawing of the expansion site on lot 4, being 1497 Long Street. This is right behind my building on 980 N MLIC PWKY. The lot on Long Street can me combined with the property on N MLK PWKY and amend the specific use permit to include Long Street lot. Your attention to this matter will be very appreciated.
