TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
HE I
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from LI (Light Industrial) District to RS
(Residential Single Family Dwelling) District
FILE: 1665-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request. In addition, the Planning
Manager recommends that the remaining properties along the north side of Chambless (east and
west of the subject property) be rezoned to RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling).
Careen Valverde, the property owner, has a buyer for the subject property at 1700 Chambless.
When the buyer came to City Hall for a permit to build a new home, he was informed that the
property is zoned LI (Light Industrial) which does not allow residential.
The developed lots along Chambless are occupied by single family residences. 111 1990, a
request for RS for two lots immediately to the east of Laura Addition was granted. The subject
property is 76' east of this RS zoning.
It is apparent that the prominent type of development along the north side of Chambless is
going to be single family residential.
Exhibits are attached.

PETITION FOR REZONING
RE: Lot on Chambless Lane
OWNER: Coreen Valverde
I recently marketed the above referenced property for sale through a local
real estate firm. The lot was on the market for sale and a buyer had been
secured. On the day of closing, the buyer went to city hall to obtain a permit
to construct a new home. He was informed that the lot had been rezoned
light industrial and was not available for residential use. A new residence in
the area would i - ncrease the surrounding property values. We had many
inquiries for the lot, all whose purpose was new home construction. I have
every intention of selling this property. If not rezoned, it will have to be sold
as light industrial. Light industrial will disrupt the current conforming
residential use. To avoid this, the property needs to be zoned back to
residential. By signing this petition we can 3,,thm1+ -to the City of Beaumont
in hopes they will fulfill this request. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Thank -you,
Coreen Valverde
