TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request to amend the Zoning Ordinance, Section
30-24 (B), Permitted Use Table, to temporarily require a
specific use permit for all uses in the CBD (Central Business
District).
FILE: 698-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
The City of Beaumont is beginning the process of formulating a
Downtown Plan for the Central Business District. For the purposes of
this plan, the boundaries of the planning area are IH-10 on the north,
the Neches River on the east, Blanchette on the south, M.L. King, Jr.
Parkway on the west, Calder on the north and Magnolia on the west.
Due to a concern that incompatible land uses might be introduced to
the Central Business District before the plan and any resulting Zoning
Ordinance amendments are completed and adopted, staff is
recommending that Section 30-24 (B), the Permitted Use Table, be
amended to require a specific use permit for all uses in the CBD
(Central Business District) zoning district.
Exhibits are attached.
