Home My WebLink AboutPZ2021-229DATE: August 5, 2021 TO: Board of Adjustment FROM: Demi Laney, Senior Planner SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Special Exception to reduce off-street parking requirements in a GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) District. FILE: PZ2021-229 STAFF REPORT James Farrelly, on behalf of Dollar General, has applied for a Special Exception to reduce off- street parking requirements for the property located at 7185 Tram Road. The term "Special Exception" shall mean a deviation from the requirements of the zoning ordinance, specifically enumerated herein, which shall be granted only in the following instances, and then only when the Board finds that such Special Exception will not adversely affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring property or be contrary to the best public interest. The Special Exception, Sec. 28,02.005 (C), allows a waiver to off-street parking when the Board finds the requirement is unnecessary for the proposed use of the building for which the request applies. The A&E Plan Coordinator, Randy Martin, states the stores average around 15-20 transactions per hour. He assured that the requested 35 parking spaces would accommodate the customer flow rate during regular business hours and peak Christmas season. By strict compliance with the City of Beaumont Zoning Regulations, the Dollar General would require 53 parking spaces based off the size of the building. The store requests permission to have thirty-five (35) parking spaces instead of the required fifty-three (53) parking spaces for this type of use and building size. Exhibits are attached.

Through the years Dollar General has been in the process of refining the design criteria for new store development. With over 16,000 stores in productive operation, we have gathered a significant amount of data. One area inwhich vveare balanced between development cost and customer need isinthe area of parking requirements and accessibility for our buUd4o'suitlocations. Our stores average around 15-2D transactions per hour. VVehave estimated and confirmed that 3Sspaces would accommodate the customer flow rate that our business generates. This standard has been sufficient for even the traffic generated atthe peak Christmas Season levels. Thanks for your consideration and feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have.
