Although 90 percent of our funeral and memorial services will be held in area churches, funeral attendants (2-3) will be needed when funeral and memorial services are held at the proposed funeral home location. McBride Funeral Home aims to bring the highest quality of service and take care of Beaumont families in bereavement. McBride Funeral Home will work tirelessly to abide by all rules governing the City of Beaumont and we will assure that our neighbors in the surrounding area will not be affected by our presence. Zoning, Ordinance Conditions Needed for Specific Use Permit 1. McBride Funeral Home, in the proposed location in the City of Beaumont, will be our company's second location. Our first location is in Texas City. We believe that we have many assets to offer to the City of Beaumont, and we will always present ourselves and our building in an upscale, sophisticated manner. Recently, we received the "Stay Classy Beautification Award" from the City of Texas City because of the upgrades made to our building, and for the services we provide to the community. Our first location is in historical downtown Texas City. Currently, we service families from Beaumont fi-om our first location in Texas City. 2. McBride Funeral Home will bring superior service and value to the City of Beaumont. By no means will our presence lower the standards set by the City of Beaumont. We are here to help in any capacity, not only in the fimeral sci vice business. We aim to enhance the surrounding community where our building will be located. 3. Just as we did to successfully stand up out first location, we will work diligently with the City of Beaumont to ensure that every requirement is met to standard with the following agencies: City of Beaumont, Fire Marshalls, Back Flow Maintenance and the Texas Funeral Service Commission, 4. McBride Funeral Home will never alter the success to adjacent properties. We aim to get processes and standards right the first time. When we have funeral services at this location, our personnel will make sure that parking will not affect surrounding businesses. 5. The directional lighting will be minimal. At night, we, use a lamp on the inside of the building and a light on the outside that shines on the McBride Funeral Home signage. These two methods of lighting will be the only two needed, 6. The proper ventilation for fumes is a requirement from the Texas Funeral Service Commission. Odors and fumes are taken care of by the exhaust system that will be installed in the funeral home. Biohazard containers are picked up and boxed in special containers by a specified biohazard company. Due to the sensitive nature of funeral service, out staff will not tolerate a noisy environment inside the -funeral home, nor outside of the funeral home. 7. Again, McBride Funeral Home has high standards. We will make sure our painting, landscaping and upkeep is consistent with the standards of the City of Beaumont. Our presence will be an asset to your community. 8. We are sure that the opening of McBride Funeral Home in the City of Beaumont and its proposed use is in accordance with the city's Comprehensive Plan.
