G M J GRIFFITH MOSELEY JOHNSON March 1, 2021 Mr. Chris Boone, Director Planning and Community Development City of Beaumont P. O. Box 3827 Beaumont, Texas 77701 RE: APPLICATION FOR REZONING 134MMOMM My client is in negotiation with the owner of property in the City of Beaumont and has authorized me to act on his behalf in submitting an application for rezoning for a planned chemical manufacturing facility. The property is currently zoned commercial -light manufacturing and we are seeking to rezone it as heavy industrial. According to JCAD records, the property in question is: JCAD Prop ID: 130642 Geographic ID: 300032-000-003900-00000 Legal Description: P HUMPHRI1YS-ABS 32 TR 21(H-2) 53.41 AC Owner: Cordts, E.G. Jr. & Grace N. & Mashed 0 Minerals LP Please note that I have used ownership information as reflected in JCAD records. The owner believes JCAD records are not correct, as the owner of record is Mashed 0 Minerals LP and not the Cordts family individually. The property is located just inside the city limits between State Highway 347 and U.S. Highway 69. Its current use is as pasture land and appraisal district records reflect no history of improvements. It is currently under an agricultural exemption for property tax purposes, I have attached an aerial from the city's GIS with the zoning overlay, which depicts zoning in the area is all commercial -light manufacturing or heavy industrial. It also depicts the closest residential zoning, which is 1.75 miles northwest of the site. There is significant industrial land use between that residential area and the site (see Exhibit 1, attached). I have also attached a JCAD aerial of the property and surrounding area, which depicts industrial land uses in the area, both within the city and outside the city. 2901 Turtle Greek Drive, Suite 445 Port Arthur, Texas 77642 409.722.6100 voice 409.722,6101 facsimile www.gmjtnc.com Mr. Chris Boone, Director Planning and Community Development March 1, 2021 Page 2, While my client has other sites under consideration for this project, both in Texas and Louisiana, they are choosing to move forward on rezoning and acquisition of this site due to timing constraints. Given those timing constraints, we would like to accomplish the rezoning as soon as the city's process will allow. The current owner has no objection to the rezoning request, as indicated by their authorized representative's signature, below. Please contact me if you require any additional information to consider this request. Best regards, John Johnson As the authorized representative of the owner of the property describe above, we have no objection to the property being rezoned. 0) 110 N IIA.1 By: Cordts Management, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, its General Partner By: Name: Grace N.
