Proposed Use and Description
August 24, 2021
To: City of Beaumont Planning: SUP/Rezoning Dept
From the inception of our project, we've had one goal above all else. That goal was to enhance the
development growth of the Local Neighborhood thru businesses that focus on providing family friendly services
that help all residents. We set firm guidelines with our construction and design teams, to provide those services
that the people of the neighborhood really need. During our initial pre -planning phase, one thing was apparent.
The needs of the residents can be divided into two sections, clean fuel stations / packaged --cooked meals.
Now for all the residents, we had to go a different route. All the conditions put in place were to ensure
the development of Beaumont and providing family friendly services to spur a growth for the city. With that
settled, we wanted to know what would be most ideal for the residents of the city, We first started with
preliminary research by asking residents what they wanted in the area, Some of the main needs that kept
propping up, were a family friendly store, a clean reliable fuel station, a laundry/washeteria, and lastly, a fast
food/ pizzeria. These were some of the more glaring needs that were brought up by almost everyone. It's riot
that the area is lacking stores and gas stations, its just that due to their conditions and general aesthetics, it's
hard for people to trust them, With all the rains and flooding we have experienced, it's difficult for people to get
fuel where there's a giant puddle of water over the fuel tanks. With more modern cars, it's not a stretch to
imagine that a new state of the art facility with branded fuel would help diminish those concerns. Another
concern, is when families taking their kids to stores and being exposed to materials that are graphic in nature
(e.g., porn magazines, Sex toys, etc.) To ensure that doesn't happen at our store, we will eliminate selling any
such products. This was done to show that we are very invested into Beaumont, and we want to do right by the
people of this great city.
Finally, our last concern was the lack of quality fast food options in the area. Have you ever tried to order
pizza from the surrounding pizzerias with any success? I didn't think so. It's not that difficult to have a food
business and provide great customer service, We hope to show you that we can absolutely do that. For that
purpose, we have dedicated space for a in-store Deli, serving breakfast, lunch, and early dinner, The Deli will have
a menu that will resemble a traditional diner, albeit, with a few changes. We also Have additional separate space
with a drive thru which would be ideal for a fast-food pizzeria. We are currently in talks with potential parties.
Our goal is to construct a bOOO -8000 sq/fi building of that, half will comprise a Food Store with Fuel
Station and the other half ofthe building will remain unfinished onthe inside for future development and can be
used to lease to tenants that will help Vs bring in the services most needed by the residents. Like a
VVasheteha/)aUDdrOr0at, a fast-food eatery, or any number ofbusinesses that will benefit the locals. The Food
Store will be selling wide variety of products ranging from packaged foods to beer and tobacco products, There
will also he doh inside the Food Store that will have a self-sufficient kitchen that will serve hot meals @La
reasonable price. The menu and the set -vices offered will be determined once the planning phase has started and
will be required bythe appropriate health agency.
We are 1i[e|esa|« working to make sure that every service we provide at our business, will first and
foremost, benefit the residents of the Local Community. We humbly request that City of Beaumont Planning deCt
