28.04.002(a)(6), Off Street Parking and Loading Regulations. .

STAFF REPORT
The Planning staff recommends approval.
Staff is proposing an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to adjust the parking
requirements for gaming rooms. An ordinance providing for the licensing and permitting
of gaming sites and gaming machines being operated in the City of Beaumont was recently
enacted in order to regulate the growing number of these uses. In reviewing gaming sites
that have applied for these newly required licenses and permits, it has become apparent
that existing parking requirements do not meet the needs of these establishments.
Therefore, City staff recommends the following amendment to Sec. 28.04.002(a)(6)
Off-street parking and loading regulations :
PARKING GROUP TABLE
Parking Required Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces
Group
12 One (1) space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area and
two (2) spaces per pump island with a minimum of six (6)
spaces. For Gaming Sites, one (1) space for each 75 square
feet of gross floor area if gaming exceeds 35% of the gross
floor area.
