TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request to abandon a 293.42 square foot section of Isla Avenue,
Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas.
FILE: 862-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning staff recommends approval of the request.
Soutex Surveyors & Engineers is requesting an abandonment of a portion of the Isla Avenue
right-of-way. Chaudhry Bashir (Arain, LLC) intends to build a retail gasoline/convenience store
on this property located at 1480 Interstate 10 East. At the creation of this portion of Isla Avenue,
awkward angles were left along the south right-of-way line. To allow sufficient room for
vehicles to maneuver in front of the store, the applicant would like push the structure as far north
as possible. Abandoning this portion of the right-of-way will better accommodate the needed
layout.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
