DATE: October 19, 2020 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SU&JECT: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow 3 RV's to remain temporarily in an RM-H (Residential Multiple -Family Dwelling -- Highest Density) District for disaster relief. FILE: 2424-P The Central Beaumont Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, has applied for a specific use permit to allow for temporary parking and hookup of recreational vehicles (RV's) in an RN4-H (Residential Multiple Family -High Density) District, The property is located at 2350 N. Major Drive. The Jehovah's Witnesses Disaster Relief is a temporary relief effort working under the direction of the Texas Disaster Relief Committee of Jehovah's Witness. This group has determined that there is an immediate need for assistance for church members in repairing their homes after Hurricane Laura. The applicant states that the RV's will be used for housing only and will be placed at the northeast corner of the property, behind the existing church, on paved property that will not impede vehicular traffic. Three (3) RV's will be located on the property until 3/15/21. The church made a similar request in 2009, which was denied, then received a Specific Use in 2018, due to Hurricane Harvey and 2019, due to Tropical Storm Imelda. The same conditions are being suggested for this request. Landscaping was discussed as the original Specific Use Permit granted to the church required the church to maintain the existing 3 0' buffer or install screening with the reduced 10' buffer. Three (3) RV hookups exist at the property. Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the following conditions: 1. Temporary parking and hookup of recreational vehicles shall not extend beyond 3,/15/21. 2. No storage of building materials, 3. All fuel tanks subject to approval of Fire Marshal. 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.
