Home My WebLink About1501-ZDATE: March 20,2000 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C, Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT; Consider a request to rezone 1.057 acres of land in the 600 block of West Lucas Drive from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) or a more restrictive district. FILE: 1501-Z STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of GC-MD-2 for this property. Commercial retail, office or apartment development in GC-MD-2 would require a specific use permit and a public hearing for any use. Tracts abutting and fronting on this property are zoned RS and are developed with single family residences. A change to GC -MD could lead to incompatible uses in the immediate neighborhood. GC -MD should not be granted. The applicant, Darlene Hanna, purchased from the City of Beaumont parts of five platted lots in Block 1 of the Calder Highlands Addition, This, property, 1.057 acres, was left after the City bought right-of-way along Lucas on both sides of Calder Avenue as part of the West Lucas extension project. Lucas now extends to Phelan Boulevard. The applicant has a desire to create some kind of retail store and a dance studio on the property. Property along Calder to the south is developed in commercial uses. Exhibits are attached.

I recently purchase this tract of land from the City of Beaumont and before the Lucas expansion went through this area, a portion of this land was commercial as there was a Baptist church on it. I would like to put a dance studio and retail store on it in the near future for my daughters. This land is located besides a shopping center that has a clock store, insurance office and West End Pet Shop. it also is directly behind a hamburger restaurant. There are no residual homes located on this tract and city streets outline the property. I hope my request will be granted as I think this will only help the people of Beaumont and small businesses, which are the backbone of our community. Sincerely, Darlene Hanna FILE 15fl1- : Request for a zone change from RS (Residential; Single Family Dwelling) to GC- (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) or a more restrictive classification.
