STAFF REPORT
Charles Etta Woodside wishes to build a single family residence at 1036 Oakland on a tract
cut out of three lots, said tract measuring 46.6' x 150'. This property lies about halfway
between Ashley and Long. The commercial zoning is original to 1955. This is a mixed
use neighborhood consisting of homes, vacant lots, businesses and a church. The north
one-half of Block 21 - save and except that taken for M. L. K. Parkway right -of -,way - is
occupied by Shanes ABC Termite Pest Control and Stearnatic Service. This is located on
Ashley between M. L. K. and Oakland. The church is located on property lying at the
southeast comer of Ashley and Ewing in Block 19, Jirou Addition. The applicant's nearest
neighbors to the north, south, east and west are residences.
This request is to downzone from commercial to residential. The 1981 Zoning Ordinance
prohibits the construction of any new single family homes in the GC -MD district. The
Comprehensive Plan shows this as an area of Conservation and Revitalization.
This change, if granted, could be construed as spot zoning. This would be the first
residential construction in this area in many years.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing about a problem regarding my property located
at 1030bOakland Street, here in Beaumont. I would likL- it
if they could Zone it back to Community Property.
The reason for this is that I was all set and ready to
to build on 1039i% oakland and after that point and time I
Found out that I could not rebuild on the property becaues
they want to malce it out of Commercial.
I have already hired a contractor to build my home, and I
have already had my Utility Poles installed, and all of the
trees has been removed from the property.
I visited the Neighborhood recently and had a Patician signed
by the neighbors, they all felt that they were not going no
where no time soon, as some of the neighbors were not home
at the time of my visit so I could not get their signatures
at that point and time.
I would very much appreciate it if you all could let me start
re -building on my property, because it would be a very long
time before the neighbors tear down. So could you please
zone it back to Community Property.
