JOINT PUBLIC WORKSHOP
1) Review and discuss changes to the sign ordinance, specifically amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance concerning signage, Sections 28.01.004, 28.03.018, 28.03.020, 28.03.021,
28.04.003, 28.04.005, 28.04.006, and 28.04.008(22).
PZ2021-17
Mr. Boone thanked the Conunission and Councilmembers for attending the workshop and
presented an introduction. He stated that the purpose of this workshop was to discuss amending
the City ordinances concerning signs as a result of court cases such as Reed i� Ton�n of Gilbert,
Arizona, as previously discussed in the last Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Boone stated that the approach in the proposed changes to the ordinances was an attempt to
maintain the status quo as much as possible. He stated that the current ordinances have been in
place for decades and appear to be working well in preventing complaints and problems with
signs, but that the staff felt that change was necessary to react to the Supreme Court decision. He
added that the goal of the meeting today was to decide if and how to move forward to make
adjustments.
Next, Mr. Boone presented the reasons for having a sign ordinance, which are similar to the
reasons for having zoning and landscaping ordinances. These regulations help to maintain an
orderly community and make a difference in the appearance of the City. He stated that the goal
is to allow a reasonable amount of signs and that the staff wants citizens and businesses to be
successful with signs that make sense for the community. He then showed slides of examples of
signs in other cities as examples of what can occur if there is no regulation or control of signs.
Slides of a matrix highlighting the current sign ordinance features and pictures of signs in
Beaumont were shown. Mr. Boone then discussed overlay districts within the City that have
more restrictive sign regulations than the City as a whole and showed pictures of further
examples.
Mr. Boone stated that the main topic of this workshop would be about temporary signs, such as
real estate, construction, campaign, decorative signs, flags and banners. He reiterated that the
discussion of these signs was necessary due to the decision of the Reed court case.
Mr. Boone showed a slide highlighting a portion of the Reed case decision, which stated that the
government cannot regulate signs based on the content of their messages. He stated that current
ordinance of Beaumont is similar to many other cities in that the regulations are defined by the
message of the sign. He added that Reed found no compelling government interest for the City
to regulate the message of a sign and that this decision has left many cities struggling to remedy
this decision with the ordinances they have in place. He added that the City of Beaumont's
ordinances have not yet been challenged, but could be open to challenge based on this court
decision.
Planning Commission
April 7, 2021
He then showed a slide of the current ordinance and highlighted exemptions. He stated that
temporary signs do not need permits because of these exemptions, but that these exemptions are
based on the content of the sign, thus causing a potential issue in light of the Reed decision.
Finally, he concluded that due to the current ordinances being subject to challenge, the staff
recommends making amendments. He stated that possible options are to take no action and risk
challenge, amend with recommended changes or amend with various changes to the staff
recommendations.
A slide was shown of features of the current ordinances with details for real estate, construction,
campaign, temporary decorative signs, flags and banners. Mr. Boone stated that most of the time
these signs are not a problem and do not draw complaints, but preventing any future problems
has become more complicated with the Reed decision. He stated again that cities now cannot
regulate the content of signs, but can regulate the number, size, duration and placement of signs.
Slides showing pictures of signs in Beaumont were shown.
Mr. Boone added that the City is not currently enforcing most sign ordinances due to the
problematic situation the court case has caused.
Councilmember Neild asked who would pose a challenge to the ordinances if they are not being
enforced. Mr. Cooper answered that a challenge would typically come from someone who the
ordinance was being enforced against. Councilmember Getz stated that if the ordinance is not
being enforced than no one would challenge it. Mr. Cooper agreed that it was not likely to be
challenged for this reason, but that without change the ordinance lacks teeth and is presumptively
invalid. Mr. Boone replied that if we do have an issue arise where we would need to enforce the
ordinance, we would be subject to challenge. He added that we have not had many problems,
but posited that this was due to having a good ordinance in place.
Councilmember Getz brought up an issue with campaign signs being regulated and cited Section
259.003 of the Texas state election code, which states that political signs cannot be regulated by
municipalities. Mr. Cooper stated that the state law is just as subject to challenge as the current
ordinance and that it is also presumptively invalid. He added that the current ordinance could be
left as is, but it would be irresponsible in his opinion. Councilmember Getz stated that there is a
conflict with the ordinance and the election code and that the state law would override the city
ordinance. Mr. Boone stated that this was a problem. Mr. Cooper agreed that it is a problem and
that the election code is causing the City to violate the Reed decision and that attempting to
comply with the Reed decision is the reason for the meeting today. Councilmember Getz stated
that someone could challenge the state law and they all took oaths to uphold the laws of Texas.
Mr. Boone stated that the City cannot prohibit any sign with a campaign message without seeing
its content and campaign signs would be further discussed later in the meeting.
Councilmember Neild asked about complaints and problems with signs other than during
campaign season. Mr. Boone replied that there have been some issues particularly in residential
areas, but that the City has been able to stay ahead of complaints through enforcement. Brief
discussion followed concerning signs in the right-of-way. Mr. Boone and 114•. Cooper explained
Planning Commission
April 7, 2021
that signs in the right-of-way are not affected by either the Reed decision or the state election
code because the content of the sign is not a factor.
Chairman Nejad asked if the number of signs is affected by the Reed decision. Mr. Boone and
Mr. Cooper explained that the number, size, height and placement can still be regulated.
Commissioner Senigaur asked why the ordinance needs to be changed and Mr. Boone replied
that the current ordinance needs amending in order to comply with this court decision or it will
be subject to challenge. Mr. Boone added that many other cities and organizations are working
on this issue to amend their ordinances to comply with the court decision.
Councilmember Neild asked if it was possible to get an attorney general decision on the matter.
Mr. Cooper stated that he did not think the attorney general would provide an opinion. Alternate
Commissioner Harris inquired about the cost and effort that would be required for an attorney
general decision and questioned its usefulness. Councilmember Neild stated that it would show
an effort to resolve the issue. Mr. Boone asked if a city could challenge the state statute and Mr.
Cooper replied that they would have to have standing to challenge it. Mr. Cooper stated that the
issue would be how successful that challenge would be and that the attempt of staff in this
proposal was to try to beef up the current ordinance to correct the problem. Councilmember
Getz stated that the proposal will still be in conflict with the state election code, which also could
open the City to challenge.
Alternate Commissioner Harris asked for further information about the overlay districts and Mr.
Boone explained the sign regulations in overlay districts.
Discussion followed about the current ordinance for campaign signs. Councilmember Getz
stated that the sixty (60) day duration does not currently specify when the sixty (60) days begins.
Discussion followed about the intent of the current ordinance and that this problem could be
addressed with these amendments. Commissioner Makin stated that campaign signs seem to
have only recently become a problem.
Chairman Nejad asked about temporary decorative signs such as those that say "Happy
Birthday" and about each letter of the display being counted as an individual sign. Mr. Boone
stated that the proposal is not to count each letter as a single sign and that it will be discussed
later in the presentation. Chairman Nejad stated that he did not know why we would want to
subject the citizens to this kind of regulation and Mr. Boone reiterated that it would be up to the
Commission and Council how much regulation they wanted. Commissioner Senigaur stated that
it sounded like a dictatorship.
Mr. Boone continued the presentation in which he went through each category of temporary sign
and showcased the current ordinance and proposed amendments. As the content portions of the
ordinance would be removed, these proposed amendments would not specify the message or
content of the sign, but rather allow additional signs in different situations. Additional signs
would be allowed with specific regulations when a property is under construction, for sale or
lease, holding a garage sale and during election season.

Planning Commission
April 7, 2021
Construction signs were the first type of temporary signs presented. Slides of examples, features
of the current ordinance and proposed changes were shown. The current ordinance allows one
sign per street, forty (40) square foot maximum, no height limit and signs allowed during the
time of construction. The proposed changes for residential zones included allowing one sign per
street, eight (8) square foot maximum, six (6) foot height maximum and signs allowed until a
Certificate of Occupancy is issued. The proposal for commercial zones included no number
limit, forty (40) square foot maximum, fifteen (15) foot height limit, and also allowed signs until
a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Another option presented by staff was to have no
restrictions on temporary signs during construction. Discussion followed concerning the options
for amendments and the justifications for the necessity of construction signs. After firrther
discussion, a consensus was reached to have no restrictions on temporary signs during
construction.
Real estate signs were then discussed. Slides of examples, features of the current ordinance and
proposed changes were shown. The current ordinance allows one sign per street, eight (8) to
sixty-four (64) square foot maximum, no height limit and signs allowed while a property is for
sale or lease. The proposed amendments for residential zones included one sign per street, eight
(8) square foot maximum, six (6) foot height maximum, and signs allowed while a property is for
sale or lease. The proposed amendments for commercial zones included no number limit, fifty
(50) square foot maximum, fifteen (15) foot height maximum and signs allowed while a property
is for sale or lease. Another option presented was to have no restrictions on temporary signs
while a property is for sale or lease. Mr. Boone did point out that some properties, especially
commercial properties, do tend to stay on the market for long periods of time.
Clarification was provided from Mr. Boone and Mrs. Josey that it would be one sign per street
frontage per lot rather than one sign allowed for the whole street. Councilmember Neild stated
that a sign must be read to determine that it is a real estate sign. Mr. Boone replied that this
proposed amendment cannot specify that it has to be a real estate sign because content cannot be
regulated, but that it allows an additional sign while a home is for sale or lease. He added that a
reasonable person would probably use this exemption to put up a real estate sign, but that they
would not be required to. Mrs. Josey also clarified that this would be a sign in addition to what
is already allowed. Councilmember Neild asked what if someone says that their house is always
for sale. Mr. Boone replied that this could be a defense to the ordinance. Commissioner Makin
asked about corner lot homes and if they could only have one sign. Mr. Boone replied that it a
corner lot could have a sign facing each street.
Councilmember Getz asked about if someone put up a sign that was racially offensive or
otherwise inflammatory. Mr. Cooper replied that if you have to read it to see that it is offensive
that it cannot be regulated and is considered free speech under the Reed decision. Alternate
Commissioner Harris suggested that a home owners or neighborhood association may be able to
address the sign. Councilmember Neild stated that home owner associations have been
challenged in court as well. Councilmember Getz stated that home owner associations cannot
regulate campaign signs under state law. Councilmember Pate asked if we had ever had such a
situation with an offensive sign. Alternate Commissioner Harris mentioned the Kathy Page
billboards in Vidor, TX. Mayor Ames stated that they have received complaints about
suggestive billboards in Beaumont, but that the City is unable to regulate them. Mr. Boone
5
Planning Commission
April 7, 2021
suggested that if the sign were clearly pornographic or especially egregious that there should be
some remedy available outside of the sign ordinances.
No changes were suggested by the Commissioners or Councilmembers to the staffs proposal for
real estate signs.
Chairman Nejad asked that Mr. Boone be allowed to continue the prepared presentation.
The next type of temporary sign presented was temporary decorative signs. Slides of examples,
features of the current ordinance and proposed changes for residential and commercial areas
were presented. The current ordinance does not allow for this type of sign. The staff proposal
included a limit of one sign, limit of sixty (60) square feet, a five (5) foot height maximum, and a
duration limit of seven (7) days. Another option presented was to have no restrictions on
temporary decorative signs but to limit the number of days to seven (7) days. Discussion
followed concerning these signs not usually being a problem as the companies charge by the day
so they are usually not up for very long. Councilmember Neild stated if there is a time limit
people would be able to take them down and then put them right back up. Mr. Boone suggested
that a regulation for the number of times a year they could be displayed could be added.
Discussion followed about this and concluded that regulation on number of times per year would
be unfair and not necessary. Mayor Ames stated that it should be left as proposed and that it is
not usually a problem. Mr. Cooper added that the vendors of these signs will come and pick
them up because they need them for other jobs. A consensus was reached to accept the proposed
amendments.
The next type of temporary sign presented was for yard sales or garage sales. Slides of
examples, features of the current ordinance and proposed changes were presented. The current
ordinance includes a limit of one sign, six (6) square foot maximum, five (5) foot height limit,
and signs allowed during a garage sale twice a year. The staff proposal included a limit of one
sign, six (6) square foot maximum, six (6) foot height maximum and signs allowed during the
garage sale for any ten (10) days in a calendar year. Another option presented would be no limit
for a period of time before and during the garage sale. Mr. Boone stated that garage sale signs
are not usually an issue, unless a resident is leaving the sign up continuously and essentially
running a business. Mr. Cooper mentioned that signs cannot be up for more than ten (10)
consecutive days. Commissioner Senigaur inquired about the penalty for violations of the
current ordinance. Mr. Boone replied that there is a usually a courtesy letter or call which
typically elicits compliance, but if not there can also be a warning letter issued and finally
charges brought in Municipal Court. No changes to the staffs proposal were suggested by
Commissioners or Councilmembers for this type of sign.
Campaign signs were the next type of temporary sign discussed. Slides of examples, features of
the current ordinance and proposed changes for residential and commercial areas were shown.
The current ordinance includes no number limit, eight (8) square foot maximum, six (6) foot
height limit, and duration of sixty (60) days maximum. The staff proposal for residential zones
included no number limit, twenty (20) square foot maximum, eight (8) foot height maximum,
and a duration of sixty (60) days prior to an election. The staff proposal for commercial zones
included no number limit, eight (8) square foot maximum, six (6) foot height maximum, and
If
Planning Commission
April 7, 2021
duration of sixty (60) days prior to an election. Another option presented was to have no limit on
temporary signs during a defined campaign season.
Discussion followed concerning the details of the current ordinance provisions. Commissioner
Steinhagen asked if there is currently a rule about how close signs can be to the curb. Mr. Boone
replied that there is not a setback rule, but that signs cannot be placed in the right-of-way.
Discussion followed about 4x4 signs being comrnon, but technically not allowed under the
current ordinance. Further discussion followed on how much to regulate size and duration and
what would be reasonable, typical and enforceable. Councilmember Pate stated that the price of
large signs helps prevent their overuse. A consensus was reached that the size of campaign signs
should be sixteen (16) square feet maximum in residential zones and forty (40) square feet
maximum in commercial zones. No other changes to the staff proposal were suggested by
Commissioners or Councilmembers. A brief discussion followed concerning election signs on
City property. Mr. Cooper stated that signs can be regulated on City property regardless of the
proposed ordinance changes.
Discussion followed about the enforcement of the sign ordinances and how the City becomes
aware of violations. Councilmember Getz suggested that as opposed to City regulations, that
citizens could use nuisance laws to enforce restrictions. Alternate Commissioner Harris
suggested that these types of regulations are what the City staff is employed to do and that
informed and reasonable laws are needed. She argued that regulations are necessary for the
beautification of the City and that something needs to be on the books. She added that she has
not heard anything unreasonable in the staff presentation and supports the efforts of the meeting.
Mayor Ames and Chairman Nejad highlighted the Planning Commission's past actions
concerning flashing signs and other beautification efforts.
The next type of temporary sign discussed was flags. Slides of examples were shown. Mr.
Boone stated that the current ordinance does not really address flags. The staff proposal for flags
in residential zones included a limit of two (2) flags, twenty-four (24) square foot maximum,
twenty-five (25) foot height maximum, and no time limit. The staff proposal for commercial
zones included no limits on number, size, or height but proposed a restriction of the flag having
to be ten (10) feet from the property line. Another option presented was to have no restrictions
on flags. Councihneniber Pate asked if many complaints have been made about flags. Mr.
Boone replied that they have not. Commissioner Steinhagen stated that branded flags on
businesses often come in kits from the company and that the whole kit must be displayed for
payment. Mayor Ames stated that she did not find flags on businesses offensive.
Councilmember Pate suggested that if there are not complaints about flags, they should not add
regulations. After further discussion, a consensus was reached to not add regulation of flags.
The Commissioners and Councilmembers all thanked Mr. Boone for his work and presentation.
Chairman Nejad stated that the amendments would be on the agenda at the next Planning
Commission meeting for a vote.

REGULAR MEETING
1) PZ2021-70: Request for Preliminary Plat approval of Willow Creek Country Club Estates,
Section X-E, Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas.
Applicant: Eric Giron
Location: East of Willowbend Drive just north of Quail Hollow Drive
Mr. Boone presented the staff report. Eric Giron, E.I.T., of Schaumburg & Polk, Inc. has
requested preliminary plat approval of Willow Creek Country Club Estates, Section X-E. The
project is located northeast of the intersection of Major Drive and Walden Road within the
Beaumont City Limits. The development is a 5.273 acre, nineteen (19) lot, single family,
residential subdivision. The residential street, Skellig Bay, has a fifty foot (50') right-of-way
with a pavement width of twenty-seven feet (27'). The collector, Willow Bend Drive, has a sixty
foot (60') right-of-way with a thirty-seven foot (37') pavement width. Water and sewer will be
provided by extension of City of Beaumont utilities.
The applicant is requesting a waiver to Ordinance Section 26.03.002 requiring the street
intersection centerlines to be 150' apart. Mr. Giron states the location of the proposed street is
due to previous development to the east (Champions Subdivision) which resulted in the now
existing sanitary sewer main. The proposed offset between the proposed Skellig Bay and the
existing Quail Hollow Drive would be approximately 110 feet instead of 150 feet.
Section 26.05.002(a) (1) Where the planning commission finds that extraordinary hardships or
practical difficulties may result from strict compliance with these regulations or that public
interest may be served by an alternative proposal, it may approve variances to these subdivision
regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured provided that
such variances shall not have the effect of nullifying the general intent and purpose of these
regulations; and further provided that the planning connnission shall not approve variances
unless it shall make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case that:
(A) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or
welfare or h jtn•ious to other• property.
(B) The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the property
for which the variance is sought and are not applicable generally to other property.
(C) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of
the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict terms of these regulations are
enforced.
(D) The variance will not in any significant way vary the provisions of the zoning ordinance,
zoning map, or comprehensive plan.
K
Planning Commission
April 19, 2021
Per the Subdivision Ordinance Section 26.05.002(a)(1), should the Planning Cornrnission
determine that the requested waiver is justified, the Planning Staff recommends approval of the
Preliminary Plat.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Slides of the plat were shown.
Mr. Boone explained the waivers requested for this plat. He added that after a discussion about
waivers at the last meeting, additional language for the waivers for this plat was added to the
staff report. He also added that Brandon Belaire from City Engineering was present at the
meeting and could speak about the waiver requests as well.
Staff recommended approval with the requested waiver.
Chairman Nejad asked about the reason for the waiver and that he did not see that the applicant
had explained a reason, other than financial.
The applicant was present. Troy Whitehead, representing Schaumburg & Polk, Inc., 8865
College Street Suite 100, addressed the Commission. He stated the location of the proposed
street is due to previous development to the east and that they are requesting a sewer through
Willow Bend Drive to tie into the larger system. He added that they had previously gotten an
easement and they were now coming back to continue development. Mr. Whitehead also added
that they had a predevelopment meeting with City staff, where they discovered they would need
this waiver. Chairman Nejad mentioned potential traffic and blind spot problems. The applicant
stated that according to their sight distance pyramid, the configuration should not cause a
problem and that there is no through traffic on the subject street. Mr. Whitehead also stated that
they would like the sewer line to remain in the public right-of-way.
Brandon Belaire, City of Beaumont Roadway Engineer, 4821Bellaire Avenue, Groves, TX,
addressed the Commission. He stated that from a traffic engineering standpoint, he does not see
the configuration of this plat as an issue. He stated that the cars will not be in each other's way
based on the sight distance triangle and that because it is on the outside of the curve, there should
be a clear view in both directions. He added that all -way stops or traffic signals are not
warranted in this situation because it is not a through or collector street. He admitted that some
confusion may occur for drivers unfamiliar with the area, but that it is a low traffic area with
most traffic being the residents of the subdivision. He stated that the geometry and sight lines
should be adequate.
Chairman Nejad asked where the number of 150' in the ordinance came from and Mr. Belaire
responded that he did not know. Mr. Boone stated that the subdivision regulations attempt to
form a grid based layout, with maximum visibility and efficiency. Chairman Nejad asked Mr.
Belaire if this plat would be detrimental to the subdivision, in his professional opinion, and Mr.
Belaire replied that it would not be.

Planning Commission
April 19, 2021
Alternate Conunissioner Harris moved to approve the request for Preliminary Plat approval of
Willow Creek Country Club Estates, Section X-E, Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas, as
requested in file PZ2021-70, with the requested waiver.
Commissioner Steinhagen seconded the motion. The motion to approve carried 5:0.
2) PZ2021-80: Request for Preliminary Plat approval of Pine Island Estates, Phase
3A, Jefferson County, Texas.
Applicant: Donald R. King, P.E. of Fittz & Shipman, Inc.
Location: Near the intersection of South Pine Island Road and Walden Road
Mr. Boone presented the staff report. Fittz and Shipman, Inc. has requested preliminary plat
approval of Pine Island Estates, Phase 3A. The project extends west of the existing Phase 2,
along Ponderosa Trail, intersecting Bond Road, within the Planning Area of the City of
Beaumont E.T.J. The 36.821 acre development is a thirty (30) lot, single family, residential
subdivision. Lots will front on the extension of Ponderosa Trail or Shortleaf Trail. Water will
be provided by Meeker Municipal District and sewer will be individual septic systems.
Although this property is located outside of the flood hazard, due to historical flooding,
minimum required floor slab elevation will be set at elevation 31.00. This requirement is noted
on the plat.
As the subdivision lies within the Planning Area of the E.T.J., Jefferson County design and
construction specifications shall apply. The applicant is requesting waivers to Section 26.03,002
requiring that a cul-de-sac be no more than 800' in length and rural standards requiring a
maximum of twenty-four (24) lots on a single outlet street.
The Planning staff recommends approval of the plat. Although waivers were requested, per
Beaumont Subdivision Ordinance section 26.03.002(12) Street design, construction and
acceptance is subject to approval of Jefferson County Engineering and City of Beaumont
Engineer. Street lights, however, are not required.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Slides of the plat were shown.
Mr. Boone explained that the subject property is in the Planning Area of the Jefferson County
E.T.J. so the standards are set by the county. The applicant had requested a variance in cul-de-
sac length and a waiver of street lights, but as it is in the E.T.J., these are not needed from the
City.
Staff recommended approval of the request.
The applicant was present. Don King, representing Fittz & Shipman Inc., 1405 Cornerstone
Court, addressed the Commission. He stated that this was the next phase of development from
the Doguet's Diamond D Ranch. He added that the main road will be an eighty foot (80') right-
of-way with a thirty-six foot (36') roadway and the other streets will be a sixty foot (60') right-
4
Planning Commission
April 19, 2021
of -way with twenty-four foot (24') roadway. He added that they will meet the county standards
and will have open ditches and large lots in a rural area about four (4) miles from the city limits.

7) PZ2021-17: Request for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance concerning signage, Sections
28.01.004, 28.03.018, 28.03.020, 28.03.021, 28.04.003, 28.04.005, 28.04.006, and
28.04.008(22).
Applicant: City of Beaumont, Planning Division
Mr. Boone presented the staff report. As a result of court cases such as Reed v. Tows: of Gilbert,
Arizona and Reagan National Advertising v. City ofAustin, Texas, most city sign ordinances and
many state statutes regulating signs are now subject to challenges of being unconstitutional. The
decisions relate to the heavy burden that cities have to justify regulating speech. The courts have
essentially said that if a city or state has to read a sign to enforce their ordinance, it is probably
unconstitutional. The issue for Beaumont and most cities' sign ordinances is that being able to
read a sign is critical to their enforcement. In an attempt to comply with these decisions, the
E
Planning Commission
April 19, 2021
Planning Staff is recommending amendments to Sections 28.01.004, 28.03,018, 28.03.020,
28.03,021, 28.04.003, 28.04,006 and 28.04.008(22) of the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed amendments offer new language that will allow a reasonable number, size and
design of signs for differing uses in differing zoning districts while substantially retaining the
established regulatory schemes of citywide sign rules as well as special sign rules specific to the
historic and overlay districts. In addition, new definitions of advertising signs and on -premise
signs will allow for the ongoing enforcement of billboards without the need to rely on the content
of the sign to do so.
Mr. Boone stated that this proposal was discussed at a special workshop, as a follow up from the
March Planning Commission meeting. He surnmarized the issues that the court decisions have
had on sign ordinances no longer being able to be regulated by content, but that the number, size,
height, and placement of signs can still be regulated. He stated that the work session primarily
looked at temporary signs, including construction, real estate, election and garage sale signs. He
discussed some of the consensuses that were reached at the workshop about these categories of
temporary signs. He added that the proposal before the Commission were amendments to the
ordinances based on what came out of the work session.
Commissioner Steinhagen asked if the City's ordinances were wrong before these court cases.
Mr. Boone stated that there was a Supreme Court decision about twenty (20) years ago that had a
similar decision to the Reed case, but was not as straightforward a decision. He stated that this
put cities on notice, but many cities were unsure how to address the problem. He added that the
Reed case, about five (5) years ago, has created the issue anew and has left cities snuggling to
find a remedy. He added that the proposed amendments are not ideal, but are the best way to
achieve reasonable regulations.
Commissioner Steinhagen stated that he was present at the workshop, but he still has trouble
with seeing a problem with the current ordinances and how guidelines for these types of signs
could be made without knowing the content of the sign. Mr. Boone explained that the content of
the sign is not used in the proposed amendments, but rather allows different guidelines for signs
based on the situation, such as during an election season or when a property is for sale.
Mr. Boone explained that the Reed decision caused the City's ordinance's to be subject to
challenge because they are based on the content on the sign. He added that the proposed
amendments are an attempt to maintain sign regulations, while attempting to comply with the
court's decision.
Chairman Nejad stated that he did not think much was accomplished at the workshop and
questioned why it would be necessary to go through this exercise. Mr. Boone replied that staff
feels this is the only way this will work under the Reed decision. Mr. Cooper stated that the
amendments are an attempt to get us "out of the ditch" and onto "flat land" and that without the
amendments, we are subject to challenge. Commissioner Steinhagen mentioned upcoming
conferences about this issue and how decisions made there could affect matters. Mr. Cooper
stated that the International City Attorney's Association has seminars on this issue every spring
because the issue is a moving target as different cities become attacked by challenges. He stated
Planning Commission
April 19, 2021
that any changes will not be ideal, but are attempts to comply with the court decisions.
Chainnan Nejad replied that he does not yet see the "flat land." Mr. Cooper replied that we may
not be there yet, but are trying to get there.
Mayor Ames mentioned that the proposed amendments do clarify the time limit for election
signs, which is not clear in the current ordinance. Mr. Boone agreed that this does clean that
issue up, without regulating election signs based on content.
Chairman Nejad stated that this is sacrificing the rights of other citizens because of those who
put up signs where they should not have. He used an example of having three kids in three
different schools or military branches and not being able to display signs for all of the schools or
military branches and the American flag because of someone else breaking the rules about
election signs and causing this issue. He also questioned if the ordinances are enforceable.
Mr. Boone stated that the consensus of the work session was not to regulate flags. He added that
the options are to do nothing or to make amendments.
Alternate Commissioner Harris stated that the duration of signs was clarified in the proposed
amendments. Chairman Nejad stated that this was sacrificing citizen's rights because of the
political signs. Mr. Boone stated that the amendments base regulations on situations rather than
content and referred to the consensuses reached at the workshop.
Alternate Commissioner Harris moved to approve the request for amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance concerning signage, Sections 28.01.004, 28.03.018, 28.03.020, 28.03.021, 28.04.003,
28.04.005, 28.04.006, and 28.04.008(22) , as requested in file PZ2021-17. The motion was not
considered due to a lack of second.
Commissioner Steinhagen moved to deny the request for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
concerning signage, Sections 28.01.004, 28.03.018, 28.03.020, 28.03.021, 28.04.003, 28.04.005,

Mr. Boone presented the staff report. Hetal Patel is requesting a Specific Use Permit for a self -
storage facility at 1930 College Street. The staff in the hotel office will be available twenty-four
(24) hours a day to assist clients. These units will not be connected to any utilities. The
applicant states, however, that access to the units would be limited to certain unspecified hours to
reduce the potential for nuisance to the neighbors. There is a partial sidewalk existing along
Avenue F, and it is obvious that pedestrians travel along the other streets where a sidewalk
belongs.
To further protect the neighborhood, staff and Engineering would prefer to eliminate access from
Wall Street as it is not necessary. The applicant has stated they intend to install an eight foot (8')
tall wooden fence along the perimeter.
Slides of the subject property, site plan and surrounding area were shown.
Twenty-nine (29) notices were mailed to property owners within two hundred (200) feet of the
subject property. No responses were received in favor or opposition.
Staff recommended approval of the request with the following conditions:
1. Installation/repair of sidewalks along Wall Street, Avenue F and Avenue G.
2. Eliminate the entrance from Wall Street.
3. Install an 8 foot tall wood or masonry fence along Avenue G and Wall Street for the
perimeter of the storage facility.
4. Lighting shall be shielded from adjacent residential uses.
The applicant was present. Dr. Hani Tolime, representing Golden Triangle Consulting and
Engineering, 85 Interstate 10 Suite 204-A, addressed the Commission. Dr. Tolime stated that he
represents Hetal Petel who owns the adjacent hotel and that they have no issues with the
conditions. He added that the fencing will improve the view for the neighbors.

a mini storage facility in a GC -MD (General Commercial — Multiple -Family Dwelling) District,
as requested in file PZ2021-101 with the following conditions:
1. Installation/repair of sidewalks along Wall Sheet, Avenue F and Avenue G.
2. Eliminate the entrance from Wall Street.

14) PZ2021-103: Request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex in an RS (Residential
Single - Family Dwelling) District.
Applicant: James Callas
Location: 685 Jeny Lane
Mr. Boone presented the staff report. James Callas is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a
duplex at 685 Jeny Lane. The approximately 2,700 square foot building would be divided
equally into two (2) residences. The property is mostly surrounded by single family homes in an
RS (Residential Single - Family Dwelling) District. However, properties to the north and east
are zoned LI (Light Industrial). Therefore, staff finds low density multi -family development to
be acceptable for this location with adequate buffers of fencing and landscaping.
Slides of the subject property, site plan and surrounding area were shown.
Sixteen (16) notices were mailed to property owners within two hundred (200) feet of the subject
property. No responses were received in favor and one was received in opposition. Mr. Boone
stated that the letter in opposition did not have any comments and was from a property at 735
Wade Street.
Staff recoimnended approval of the request.
The applicant was present. James Callas, 5375 Rosemary Drive, addressed the Commission. He
stated that the property consists of three (3) lots owned by Le Family Investments. He added that
three (3) separate houses could be put on the lots, but that the client has elected to build a duplex
for two (2) families and that he thought it was a reasonable request.
The public hearing was opened and closed without comment.
Commissioner Beatty moved to approve the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a duplex
in an RS (Residential Single - Family Dwelling) District, as requested in file PZ2021-103.
Commissioner Steinhagen seconded the motion. The motion to approve carried 5:0.

SUBJECT: Request to abandon a portion of an alley.
FILE: PZ2021-86
STAFF REPORT
Grant Keller of Vaquero Ventures is requesting abandonment of the alley located within
Block 1, South End Addition, without the retention of an easement. Mr. Keller would
like to build a coffee shop at this location. Plans have been submitted to relocate the
existing sewer line allowing the alley to be abandoned. Although Water Utilities is in
favor of the abandonment, they would prefer to see the sewer line remain in place with
the retention of an easement as long as no facilities are placed within the easement. In
addition, the contractor should include expansion joints at the easement lines to facilitate
any necessary future repairs.
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. Expansion joints shall be placed along the edge of the easement.
2. If approved, applicant shall obtain an appraisal and Title Commitment for the
property to be abandoned at their expense. Appraisal and Title Commitment must be
submitted to the Planning office along with proof that payment has been arranged
prior to the item being placed on City Council's agenda.
This item was sent to all interested parties.

SUBJECT: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit and a Rezone from RS (Residential
Single -Family Dwelling) and NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to GC-MD-2
(General Commercial — Multiple -Family — 2) District to allow for a coffee shop.
FILE: PZ2021-75
STAFF REPORT
Grant Keller of Vaquero Ventures is requesting a rezoning and Specific Use Permit to allow a
coffee shop at 3154 Shannon Avenue. The proposed coffee shop would be located just south of
the existing Sonic, just south of Washington on Martin Luther King Parkway. The greatest
obstacle for this request will be an existing sewer line, located in the alleyway across the middle
of the property. A request has been submitted to abandon the alleyway and reroute the sewer
line. City Engineering and Water Utilities are in discussion with the applicant regarding this
sewer line.
Although the majority of the property is currently zoned RS (Residential Single -Family
Dwelling), it is located adjacent to GC -MD (General Commercial — Multiple -Family Dwelling)
zoning, commercial uses, and partially fronts on Martin Luther King Parkway, a major arterial.
GC-MD-2 (General Commercial — Multiple -Family Dwelling — 2) zoning provides a buffer
between the remaining residential zoning to the south and the commercial properties to the north
as a Specific Use is required and will need approval by City Council.
Landscaping will be required per City of Beaumont Ordinance. Specifically, an eight (8) foot
tall wood or masonry fence with a ten (10) foot wide landscaped buffer would be required along
the south property line. A six (6) foot wide landscaped strip containing shrubs would need to be
installed along Martin Luther King Parkway, part of Shannon Avenue and to either side of the
driveway on Highland Avenue to buffer parking areas from adjacent streets and two (2)
landscaped islands would be required in the proposed parking areas. In addition, a five (5) foot
sidewalk will need to be installed for the width of the property along all three (3) streets.
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions:
1. Approval is subject to an agreement between the applicant, City Engineering and Water
Utilities regarding the alleyway/sewer line.
2. Landscaping to be installed as per City Ordinance.
3. Sidewalks be installed and maintained along all three (3) street frontages.
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.

REQUEST FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT
RE: SPECIFIC USE PERMIT: COMEAUX COMMUNITY MORTUARY &
CREMATORY, LLC.; 3510 SARAH STREET, BEAUMONT, TX 77705
Dear Sir/Madam:
Please take notice that my office is retained to assist Comeaux Community Mortuary &
Crematory, LLC., CEO Andre' Comeaux, in acquiring a Specific Use Permit pertaining to the
above -referenced property. As such, we enclose the original and one copy of the following items.
1. Specific Use Permit Application, and
2. Proposed Conceptual Site Plan & Aerial Site Plan
The proposed building and facility is specifically for the development of a modern, upscale,
and attractive Funeral Home Services Operation. The funeral home is designed for approximately
13,612 square foot, single story with a maximum eave height of 14'. In addition, the building is
designed to conform to the surrounding neighbor, with a three foot decorative brick fascia and an
abundance of well maintain landscaping. Again, the design of the structure itself is to blend in with
the existing structures, houses or nearby residences.
This proposed project is to be a well maintained, luxury and upscale semi commercial
structure; which will have an eight foot privacy fence on all boundaries. Comeaux Community
Mortuary & Crematory plans to provide premium and supremely maintained landscaping and
attractive grounds around the facility. In addition, the proposal incorporates eighty-eight (88)
parking spaces for visitors, sixteen (16) handicap parks stops and six (6) spaces for staff members.
The eight conditions required by Section 28.04.001 of the Zoning Ordinance for the City of
Beaumont will be met as addressed below:
�y
1. The proposed Funeral Home & Family Services Facility will be housed in a single
one (1) story semi -commercial type structure. All boundaries will have an eight (8)
foot privacy fence and a minimum of twenty (20) foot, landscaped setback from the
property line. The facility will also use the existing tree line as a setback or spacing
between the adjacent residence.
2640 Calder Avenue, Beaumont, TX 77702 • P.O. Box 808, Beaumont, TX 77704 • Phone: 409/833-2233 • Fax 409/833-4226
2. The proposed Funeral Horne & Family Services Facility will have absolutely no
impact on the existing residence. Said proposed facility will not impact the growth,
improvement or orderly development of the surrounding residential properties. The
proposed building or structure, although commercial will be designed to look like
any other residence or homes. Single story maximum height eight feet, single eave,
with a brick fascia.
3. The addition of the Proposed Funeral Home & Family Services Facility will not have
an impact on the drainage, water, wastewater, access roads or utilities. The property
already has an existing access and egress point on the Fatima Street side. Our
proposal incorporates two (2) additional points for entrance and egress on the front
facing Sarah Street, along with existing utilities, drainage and water.
4. The existing driveway and proposed area designated for a driveways provide more
than adequate access to the proposed Funeral Home & Family Services Facility ,
with access from Sarah Sheet and Fatima Street. Again, the proposed facility will
have eighty-eight (88) parking spaces for visitors, sixteen (16) handicap parks stops
and six (6) spaces for staff members. See attached site plan.
5. The proposed Funeral Home & Family Services Facility will not generate any odors,
fumes, dust, noise, vibrations, or disturbances. The proposed facility is entirely self
contained and in a controlled environment. Hours of operation will be standard 8:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m., with occasional Friday, Saturday and Sunday Operation until
8:00 p.m.
6. All proposed lighting will comply with City of Beaumont Ordinances and Codes.
Proposed lighting is designed to be attractive and assist patrons, visitors and staff
with access and egress to the residence. No proposed lighting will disturb or
adversely affect the neighboring properties. All signs to comply with City of
Beaumont Ordinances and Codes. Primary sign to be three (3) feet height and ten
(10) feet in width, located in the front of the facility, Sarah Street. See attached site
plan.
7. The proposed Funeral Horne & Family Services Facility will have sufficient
landscaping and screening to insure peaceful, harmonious and compatibility with the
adjacent properties and residence. See attached site plan.
The requested Specific Use Permit and Propose Funeral Home & Services Facility
is in accordance with the City of Beaumont's Comprehensive Plan. Funeral Home
& Family Services Facility is allowed as long as the building, structure and
proposed facility abide by the City and State Ordinances and Codes.
We thank you in advance for the opportunity and request approval of the Specific Use
Permit.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming site in a
GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) District.
FILE: PZ2021-129
STAFF REPORT
Stephanie Weitzel has requested a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility at 8440 Phelan
Boulevard with 30 machines. The hours of operation for the business would be 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every
day and security will be provided by on site surveillance and a security guard.
It should be noted that gaming facilities that have five or fewer machines tend to be considered accessory
in nature, when part of a primary use, and as such tend to result in fewer negative impacts on surrounding
land uses. However, larger game rooms with dozens of machines take on the scale of a small casino and
as a result, require careful consideration as to their location and compatibility with surrounding land uses.
Some of these considerations include compatibility with other land uses, noise, traffic as well as safety
considerations. As such, proximity to parks, schools and especially residential uses should be carefully
considered in the review of gaming facilities. This property is located six hundred forty (640) feet from
Westbrook High school. In addition, it is located at the closest major intersection to the school,
requiring that the majority of students going to and from school will pass by this location each day.
Beaumont Police were asked to provide feedback as to whether or not calls for service to the Police
Department are higher near game rooms. The research showed that Crime, especially auto theft, robbery
and violent robbery are much higher near these facilities.
In addition, the site plan does not show required landscaping per City of Beaumont Ordinance.
Due to the risk of increased crime, proximity of Westbrook High school, lack of compliance with
landscaping requirements, and incompatibility with surrounding land uses, staff recommends denial of the
request.
Exhibits are attached.

MJM Entertainment has been in the entertainment business for the

past 10 years, our business model started out with vending skilled
arcade machines such as the Claw Crane and Sega Prize Locker.
We established great relationships with various businesses through
the Houston markets such washateria, convenient stores, and sports
bars. Over time, our business model geared towards casino style
amusements machines, for example few games we vend and operate
through the Houston market are Fire Links, IGT, WMS, and Bailey's.
We have seen so much success with these machines mostly in
convenient store catering truckers and neighborhood clientele.
We are collaborating up with a franchise called Kroozin Market gas
station, which has over 8 stores across the Houston metropolitan
areas. They have allowed us to lease a lot at each of their store
locations as long as we meet certain requirements in terms of design
and presentation of our business. We strive to present a luxurious
and comfortable environment for our clientele, so when it comes to
the question in regards to diminishing property we believe our facility
will please the city of Beaumont in terms of cleanliness and unique
design concept that will include high -end furniture and fixtures. For
example, our facility only uses casino style carpeting in all of our
locations. In addition, our facility will use lazy boy branded chairs for
our customer use. Interior paint used in our facility is marquees by
Home Depot. Our facility does not allow any advertisement on our
windows as we allow customers the opportunity view our clean
facility 24/7.
Kroozin Market gas station has invested 3.9 Million in building a
state of the art mega private brand gas station, which will include car
wash, laundromat, and a shopping center. As our contra

site. To ensure proper safety for our clients as well as our employees we will discuss a detail plan, that
we believe the City of Beaumont will consider being suitable.
MJM Entertainment has been in the entertainment business for the past 10 years, our business model
started out with vending skilled arcade machines such as the Claw Crane and Sega Prize Locker. We
established great relationships with various businesses through the Houston markets such washateria,
convenient stores, and sports bars. Over time, our business model geared towards casino style
amusements machines, for example few games we vend and operate through the Houston market are Fire
Links, IGT, WMS, and Bailey's. We have seen so much success with these machines mostly in
convenient store catering tiuckers and neighborhood clientele.
We are collaborating up with a franchise called Kroozin Market gas station, which has over 8 stores
across the Houston metropolitan areas. They have allowed us to lease a lot at each of their store locations
as long as we meet certain requirements in terms of design and presentation of our business. We strive
to present a luxurious and comfortable environment for our clientele, so when it comes to the question
in regards to diminishing property we believe our facility will please the city of Beaumont in terms of
cleanliness and unique design concept that will include high -end furniture and fixtures. For example, our
facility only uses casino style carpeting in all of our locations. In addition, our facility will use lazy boy
branded chairs for our customer use. Interior paint used in our facility is marquees by- me Depot. O
facility does not allow any advertisement on our windows as we allow customers t e j
our clean facility 24/7.
Kroozin Market gas station has invested 3.9 Million in building a state of rt mega private brand gas
station, which will include car wash, laundromat, and a shopping center. 's our contract condition, it is
our obligation that we cannot diminish or impair property value of our,, •operty owner. service will be
_'_.. IV'
included in our monthl •ent. The, ing site will be fully surveillance from the inside and outside of
our facility, which will Ii
nitore nd recorded 24/7 with a backup footage for up to 30 days.

SUBJECT: Consider a request for an amended specific use permit to allow a training facility for
Entergy in an RCR (Residential Conservation Revitalization) District.
FILE: PZ2021-133
STAFF REPORT
Michelle Hawkins, of Entergy Texas, Inc., has submitted an application requesting addition and
expansion of a training facility at the Entergy Helbig Substation at 4950 Plant Road. A Specific Use
Permit (SUP) for a temporary training facility was approved in 1981 and extended to allow for extra class
rooms and parking in 1994. An SUP was approved in 2019 for expansion of the substation. Plans at this
point are to construct a new state-of-the-art permanent training facility. This location will serve the
entire Entergy service area including Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. The property may
also serve as a storm staging area if needed.
The applicant states that the existing tree canopy will be preserved along the north and west sides of the
property. Although it is stated that formal landscaping will be completed in accordance with City
Ordinances, none is shown on the submitted site plan. As the parking will be more than doubled, all
parking will be required to be brought into compliance with the City Landscaping Ordinance. Thirteen
(13) landscaped islands will be required with existing and proposed parking areas and a six (6) foot wide
landscaped buffer containing shrubs will be required along the property line between parking areas and
Plant Road. In addition, a five (5) foot wide sidewalk will be required along Plant Road for the width of
the property.
The Planning staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions:
1. Landscaping be provided per City of Beaumont Ordinance requirements.
2. A sidewalk be provided along Plant Road.
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.

The proposed Boat and RV Storage units project shall contain 55 units. It will also contain a
private baseball facility wholly contained within the central building on the southern end. We will
provide total management of the property with a manager and or staff available by appointment or
for emergency purposes 24 hours a day for tenant assistance. The storage units will contain an
electrical outlet, motion activated LED lights and will all be fully enclosed and locked by the
tenant. There shall be one 6" sewer connection located on the east roadway for tenants use prior
to park the vehicles in stalls as reflected on the site plan. The private baseball facility will consist
of a 100' by 195' area partitioned off by a fire rated wall per code at 95' depth of the 195' run
creating 2 separate areas of 100' x 95' and 100' x 100'. This facility is private and by appointment
only. Adequate parking with required ADA spaces and design parameters are reflected on the site
plan to represent the required number of spaces per city code for both the boat and RV storage and
the private baseball facility.
The site will have monitored access control with directional roadways permitting safe and efficient
traffic flow. The access control is designed in a manner to allow complete entry onto the site to
not impede traffic on the public roadway. The roadway is also designed in a fire protection friendly
manner allowing for above adequate access, width, and generous turning radii exceeding code.
They perimeter will be 8' fenced on 3 sides not including the front facing Phelan Blvd. The 8'
fence shall be of a privacy style on any lot exposures neighboring any residential areas. There
shall be cameras and security monitoring systems installed.
There shall be a 10' exclusive waterline easement strategically placed through the property
allowing for four (3) hydrants to be located on site. This design also allows for the linear feet of
reach requirement needed for fire protection to the entire perimeter of all structures.
All structures will be constructed a minimum of 18" inches above the Base Flood elevation or be
flood proofed to 18" inches above the base flood elevation. In addition, the sewer hook-up will be
designed where it can be sealed during a flood.
The site shall be neatly landscaped and professionally maintained to promote a pleasing aesthetic
appearance in uniform with the city code of ordinances and guidelines. This includes the
appropriate landscape and green space buffers along residential borders with class "b" trees 12'
feet apart and shrubbery along the front facing Phelan Blvd spaced and maintained according to
code.
We would like to start the project as soon as September 2021 with breaking ground and
construction commencement.
Our main goal is to bring a quality product to the area starting with great aesthetics and quality
customer service while addressing a growing demand in our market. With RV ownership being at
an all-time high across the US, the need for quality storage continues to grow. With SETX being
considered one of the top 3 hotbeds in the country for baseball, we feel that we can address that
need with our experience and expertise in the industry. Our Father and Husband, Lester Henderson,
left us land over 20 years ago when he passed away to have something for our future. This is his
Legacy!
Sincerely,
Partners

FILE: PZ2021-135
STAFF REPORT
Alan Cramer, President of the Wood Hollow Town Homes Homeowners Association, has
requested that the City of Beaumont accept maintenance of the private street known as Wood
Hollow Town Homes Private Drive, and it's infrastructure. The City recently adopted a process
for the conversion of private streets and other infrastructure to public ownership and
maintenance (see attached). Also attached is an analysis of the condition of the existing private
infrastructure, conducted by the Public Works Department.
An analysis of the request was considered with the following responses:
Public Works/Engineering — reject the request because it is a parking lot.
Water Utilities — a review of the plat and construction plans shows the water lines are located
within a utility easement dedicated to the City of Beaumont. Therefore, the City currently
maintains the existing water lines. The sewer lines are not marked on the plats or construction
plans. It is recommended to reject the request until the sewer lines are located and reviewed.
Fire Department — Fire Marshal Condina reviewed the site and stated the property is more of a
driveway and not a street... It is recommended to reject the request because it is a parking lot.
Solid Waste — Solid Waste will not be able to offer residential garbage/heavy trash pick-up to
these units as there is no place for garbage cans.
Based on this review, planning staff recommends denial of the request.
This item was sent to all interested parties.

From: Bart Bartkowiak, Public Works & Technology Director
Subject: Wood Hollow Townhomes Sections 1 & 2 — public street request
COMMENTS
Attached for your review are the Public Works/Engineering, Water Utilities, Fire Department
and Solid Waste recommendations for the Wood Hollow Townhomes Section 1 and Section 2
request for the City of Beaumont to consider accepting the private streets as public streets.
Public Works/Engineering — reject request because it is a parking lot.
Water Utilities — a review of the plat and construction plans show the water lines are located
within a utility easement dedicated to the City of Beaumont, therefore, the City currently
maintains the existing water lines. The sewer lines are not marked on the plats or construction
plans. It is recommended to reject the request until the sewer lines are located and reviewed.
Fire Department — Fire Marshall Condina reviewed the site and stated the property is more of a
driveway and not a street. The property is like other apartment complex parking lots in
Beaumont. There are no fire lanes. Cars are parked all over and not in marked parking spaces.
It is possible in the connecting drives and between apartment buildings, a fire apparatus might
not be able to pass due to vehicles in the way. It is recommended to reject the request because it
is a parking lot. The fire department will visit the site and paint fire lanes in the near future.
Solid Waste — Solid Waste will not be able to offer residential garbage/heavy trash pick to these
units because there is no place for garbage cans.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a bar/poker room in an GC -MD
(General Commercial -- Multiple -Family Dwelling) District.
FILE: PZ2020-136
STAFF REPORT
Larry Bibbs is requesting permission to allow a bar/poker room at 7211 Eastex Freeway. A
poker room could be approved by right in the current zoning, but a bar requires a Specific Use
Permit. Admission to the poker room will be by membership only. Time slots will be
purchased by members for the desired play time. Plans are to open with a beer and wine license
then progress to a full bar. Food will not be prepared onsite. The existing shopping center has
adequate parking to accommodate the requested use.
The requested location is in the existing Market Basket shopping center located at the
intersection of Eastex Freeway and Highway 105. The proposed use would be compatible with
surrounding uses such as a liquor store and a smoke shop.
Staff recommends approval of the request.
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.

Hello Planning &Zoning Committee
My name is Larry Bibbs and for the past
several months my partner and I have
been going through the process of trying
to open the 3rd legal poker room in
Beaumont. We have finally agreed to terms
with a property owner and hopefully we
can fall within compliance of all city
guidelines and open up soon.
Our business will be equipped with 8
to 10 poker tables, a cage area from
membership and cash transactions, 12 to
15 televisions, break room for employees,
restrooms and a bar with a lounge area.
After construction the preliminary plans
for business operations are planned to go
as follows:
A new member will come to join the club
and betaken to the cage area. The cage
area is where we will print out the new
member their membership card. This card
will track all their personal information as
well as the amount of playing time they
have purchased. The new member will
choose from our membership options or
they can choose to pay a daily fee to enter
the club and play. They will choose the
game they wish to play and be led to that
particular table as we will have multiple
games running simultaneously. Then a
staff member will let the member know
what time promotions we have and the
member will make a decision on how
much playing time they'd like to purchase.
The staff member will then retrieve the
players desired amount of playing chips
and the new member will begin their
session.
Along with playing versus other
players our members will have the
opportunity to participate in special
promotions that increases their chances of
winning. We will not have any food
prepared on site, but we will have
refreshments and snacks available for
purchase. We will cater food from time to
time as a form of customer appreciation if
we are allowed to do so by the city.
We will also obtain a license to serve
liquor. More than likely we will start out
with a beer and wine license and upgrade
to an all liquor license after a few months.
We will have staff members who are true
professional dealers from casinos in
Louisiana, Las Vegas, Florida and
Mississippi. The rest of our staff will be
completed with local citizens who qualify
to work with us. Licensed bartenders,
cleaning staff, servers, and licensed armed
security. We will be open from 10am until
our last game concludes.
We feel that with the amount of
resources that we have invested and the
demand for a higher end poker room,
Beaumont is the perfect place for such an
establishment. With Houston being the
new poker capital of the country we will be
able to keep several of our local players
here instead of traveling for games as well
as intercept some of the players they travel
daily from Louisiana to play in Houston.
Respectfully yours,
Larry Bibbs & The
House of Cards Poker
