HomeMy WebLinkAbout1474-ZPMIMI 17XV L DATE: October 18, 1999 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C, Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling -Highest Density) District and an application for a specific use permit to allow a professional and business office complex. FILE: 1474-Z/P �1 VR W 01 RADIM The Planning Manager recommends approval of the zone change from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling -Highest. Density) District and approval of the specific use permit to allow a professional and business office complex. This application is in compliance with the eight conditions necessary for approval. Brent W. Coon has purchased a 12.01 acre Amoco tract which ties across the street from the West End YMCA and Barrington Avenue at Dowlen Road. He plans to develop the property with eight office buildings containing a total area of 97,620 sq. ft. This proposed development will be done in a Mediterranean Town Square "Style" with wooded buffers and landscaping throughout the property. The tract is bound on the east by the Hillebrandt Bayou. It is south of a DD#6 ditch and the Calvary Baptist Church and north of the Dowlen Road Church of Christ. The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as the West Beaumont Oil Field. However, since the beginning of the year, BP Amoco has been selling and offering to sell approximately 1,000 acres of land in the west end along Dowlen and Major Drive, Almost all of these tracts are now considered neighborhood growth units and will be developed by individuals in the future. Exhibits are attached. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 9 Responses in Favor ..

Richardson, AICP Planning Director 15 September 1999 Page 2 of 3 The subject property, which is currently zoned RS,, is a 12.01 acre wooded tract which lies between the Calvary Baptist Church and the Dowlen Road Church of Christ located on N. Dowlen Road across from the West End Y.M.C.A. The property was recently purchased from BR Amoco by Brent W. Coon who plans to construct a very upscale professional/business office complex over the entire site. The applicant/owner requests through submittal of the above, consideration to amend the zoning of the subject site to RM-H with the attachment of a Specific Use Permit. The general appearance of the proposed office complex would be that of a Mediterranean town square with a variety of exterior finishes and designs. A wooded buffer along the east and northeast lines of the property will be maintained to serve as a natural backdrop to both, enhance the setting of the complex and to screen off the rear of the buildings from the residential areas across Hil,lebrandt Bayou. Access from Dowlen Road, would entail modification to an existing median cut at the north end of the complex to add a storage or decel lane and also construction of a median cut 750 feet to the south for a balanced circulation of traffic. All parking, drives, and walk areas will be comprised of concrete and paving block with accent landscaping and ornamental lighting throughout. A 10 foot landscape buffer and 8 foot privacy fence are proposed along the common line with the Dowlen Road Church of Christ. However, the ownerwould, request some flexibility with this issue should the church wish to maintain this as an open area possibly with some agreement for overflow parking on Sundays. Calvary Baptistto the north has already made some contact with the owner regarding the possibility of additional parking use. Utilities are readily available on and adjacent to the site. With the attached conceptual design, we have been in contact with both Water Utilities and the Fire Department regarding access considerations and requirements for an internal water system to serve this project. On site hydrants would be installed to insure adequate fire protection. The internal sanitary sewer system would be privately maintained, tying into the existing 27 inch trunk line along the east side of Dowlen Road. The water main, a 12 inch line, and 4" gas, line are located on the west side of Dowlen and will require boring for tie in to service the project. All water and sanitary sewer improvements would be constructed to City of Beaumont standards. Drainage for this site will consist of an underground system which will discharge, storm water to Hillebrandt Bayou and DD6 ditch no. 123 with a minimal amount of surface runoff onto Dowlen Road. A master plan for utilities and drainage would be submitted in the construction plan package for site improvements. We feel this project will enhance the surrounding area and blend very well with the existing environment along this stretch of one of the City's busiest arterial streets. arroll & lackman, 17C. Mr. Stephen C. Richardson, AICP Planning Director 15 September 1999 Page 3 of 3 On behalf of the applicant, we request consideration, of the attached and trust that these will meetwith favorable approval by both the Planning, Commission and City Council at the Joint Public Hearing scheduled for October 18".
