STAFF REPORT
Mr. Carl A. Langley (International Farms, Inc.) owns pails of Lots 2 and 3 and all of Lots 4,
5 and 6, Block 107, Cartwright Addition. South of this across an abandoned alley is part of
Block 4, Booker Heights Addition, which lies between Fourth Street and San Jacinto,
fronting on Washington Boulevard, Mi. Langley owns Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16, said Block
4, Booker Heights. The northeast one quarter of the block bound by Fourth Street,
Washington Boulevard, San Jacinto and Rockwell is zoned RM-H (Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block
107, Cartwright Addition) and is the property requested for change. The remaining three
quarters of the block are already zoned GC -MD, Mr. Langley desires that all of his property
be zoned GC -MD.
There is a new strip shopping center on the southeast 1/4 of the "block". The applicant stated
that he would like to build a parking lot on the three lots requested for change. The new strip
retail center is in need of additional parking space, according to Mr. Langley.
The three lots face into the side of several metal buildings used as machine shops.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR ORDINANCE PURPOSES
Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block 107, Cartwright Addition and 1/2 of the abandoned 20' wide alley
between Block 107, said addition, and Block 4, Booker Heights Addition, Beaumont,
Jefferson County, Texas, containing 0.517 acres, more or less,
March 16,1999
To Whom It May Concern:
As a result of interest in future development in the area, attached
is an application for .amendment of the zoning ordinance. The reason for
this request is that I also own adjoining property located in Block 107,
Lot 3 and part of Lot Z. This is commercially zoned. In addition, I own
adjoining Lots 13,14-15,16 in Block 4 of Cartwright Addition which are
also commercially zoned. This property (13,14,15,16) borders a Major
Arterial (Washington Blvd..) and a Minor Arterial (Fourth St.), a busy
intersection.
In closing, it is extremely necessary that I get this property
commercially zoned (GC -MD) in order for one to consider future
development for this area. Thank you for consideration in this matter.
look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Carl A. Langley
