SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a Banquet Hall in ail
RCR (Residential Conservation Revitalization) District.
FILE: PZ2020-154 (243 1 -P)
STAFF RE PORT
Calvin Lovely is requesting permission for a Banquet Hall at 590 Royal Street, Ile states that
most of the former Banquet Halls in this neighborhood have closed leaving a void. No alcohol
will be, allowed at this Banquet Hall.
Mr. Lovely states fie intends to install an eight (8) foot tall wooden fence along the north and east
property lines. As he intends to expand the parking lot, there will not be sufficient room along
the cast property line for the required ten (10) foot wide landscaped buffer. Mr. Lovely is
requesting a waiver to this buffer to allow more off street parking with crushed limestone.
The existing driveway exceeds the maximum width per city standards. The driveway should
match the width of the parking lot aisle. In addition, the parking layout will need to be revised
with 9 foot wide parking spaces. On -street parking may present a hazard to the fire station.
Reasonable efforts, should be made to prevent guests from blocking the roads.
The applicant states that he plans to install shrubbery around the ftont and left side of the
property. However, the City Ordinance requires a six (6) foot wide landscaped strip between
parking areas and the right-of-way including trees and shrubs.
To avoid future drainage issues, the proposed crushed limestone will need to be graded to drain
towards the exterior property lines then flow towards the street via a grassy swale. However, it is
recommended that asphalt or concrete be used to widen the parking lot, which can drain to the
existing surface inlet and avoid having to construct ditches along the perimeter.
Staffrecominends approval with the following conditions:
1. A revised site plan be submitted demonstrating required perimeter landscaping and
parking that meets current regulations.
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.

RE, Special -Use Permit Letter of Request
To Whom It may Concern:
My name is Calvin Lovely, and I have been connected to the South End area of Beaumont, Texas
since 1950. In the South End of Beaumont, many families were able to enjoy many pleasantness in
the neighborhood for many years, from the Knights of Peter Claver Hall to Charlton Pollard High
School and many other historical businesses in the area. Many of these past businesses, were the
heart of the community, have since closed down. This has left a void for this area. One of the
businesses, The Longshoreman Local, built in 1978, subsequently has closed in July of'2020. This
building provided a service for both social and functional events.,
I purchased this building, after closure, with the intention to re -open the building for some of the
same uses that the previous owner envisioned. The interior of the building is In excellent
condition and needs very little work but when it comes to the exterior, I have decided to do many
things to improve the site.
My Intentions are as follows:
0 Reconstruct the parking lot
® install shrubbery around the front and left side of the property
0 Provide an 8-foot wooden fence on the rear and right side of the property
0 Keep the current lightening system due to adequate casting for the parking lot
In this area, most of the banquet halls have closed. My mission is to make this banquet hall
available and affordable to the residents In the community, in Beaumont and surrounding areas. If
the city would grant me this "special -use" permit, I can assure you, the vision of this community
will be restored and revived, starting with this building.
I'm requesting a waver for the 10-foot landscaping buffer required along the east property line for
extra parking.
Sincerely,
Calvin Lovely
Owner, Lovely Inc.
