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 GC -MD
(General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling)
FILE: 1467-2
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of rezoning the 73 acre strip of land along
Concord Road to GC -MD as requested. Most of the land involved in the proposed twenty
acre shopping center is inside the activity corridor of US Highways 69, 96 and 287 (Eastex
Freeway) and is already zoned GC -MD for retail development. This request demonstrates
the intense degree of commercial growth being established along the Eastex Freeway in north-
west Beaumont. This activity has been generated by population shifts to the north and west
in Hardin and Jefferson counties and by the overall economy..
Eastex Four, Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership, purchased an 8,79 acre tract of land which
fronts several hundred feet along the northeast side of the Eastex Freeway and the north side
of State Highway 105, The tract extends to Concord Road. The primary tenants of a
proposed retail shopping center indicated a need for additional property. Four other adjacent
tracts were acquired and put under contract, bringing the total size of the planned center to
approximately twenty acres. Of the total area, 7.7 acres lies along Concord Road which is
zoned RS. The applicant wishes to change the RS to, GC -MD, in order to facilitate and
finalize the plans for the new shopping center.
Exhibits are attached.
