Dowdel Investments, Ltd., is requesting that the District Regulations in the City of Beaumont Zoning Ordinance be changed from GC-MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling-2) to GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) with regards to the above referenced tract. As part of the due diligence and feasibility studies on this tract of land, I have reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Report adopted by the City Council in 1982 to determine the development plans for this tract. The Major Street and Highway Element of the Comprehensive Plan Report indicates that the intersection of Dowlen Road and Delaware Street is to be considered as major arterial streets. The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan Report has the above referenced tract shown as a District Center which includes shopping centers, professional offices, recreational facilities, Junior High Schools, churches, branch libraries, fire station and higher density residential development. We are currently developing a Forty (40) acre tract of land into a number of One (1) acre to One and a Half (1 1/2) acre +/- pad -site tracts located on Dowlen Road with a number of Big Box users for the remaining land that is east of Barrington Heights Residential Subdivision. Starship Hallmark Card Shops and Alter's Gem Jewelry have signed a contract to purchase Tract #2 and Tract #3, subject to all of the land covered in the contract being completely zoned GC -MD not GC-MD-2 requiring a specific use permit. Currently the zoning of Tract #3 is split, one-third GC -MD and two-thirds GC- 445 North 14th Street • Beaumont, Texas 77702-1806 lf%\2001\CormpoiidenteNOIOI\Cor-OIS.doe Tel. (409) 833-9555 • Fax (409) 833-9522 MD-2. All of Tract #1 and Tract #2 are currently zoned GC-MD-2. The prospective buyers (Starship Hallmark Card Shops and Alter's Gem Jewelry) want continuous GC - MD zoning. Your consideration of this request is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to working with the City of Beaumont to insure the success of this development. Please do not hesitate to call if you should have any questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Parigi Property Manage t9 Ltd. By: Parigi Investme nc. It's General Pa By: Sam C.
