TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for the annexation of 564.83 acres to the
City of Beaumont
FILE: 745-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
The City of Beaumont is considering the annexation of 564.83 acres
of property that lays between Martin Luther King and the Neches
River and south of Gulf States Road.
The City of Beaumont has agreements with a number of industries
located outside the city limits. These agreements require that these
industries pay a negotiated amount of money to the City in lieu of
being annexed. Until recently, the Equistar/P.D. Glycol facility on
Gulf States Road had such an agreement with the City. However,
that agreement is now up for renewal and Equistar/P.D. Glycol is
balking at renewing the agreement.
The proposed annexation begins at the current city limit line near the
intersection of Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway and Florida and then
heads in an easterly and northerly direction to the Equistar/P.D.Glycol
property. While the width of the annexation varies, State law
requires a minimum 1,000 foot wide strip of land to be annexed.
Exhibit is attached.
