HomeMy WebLinkAboutPZ2025-25DATE: February 24, 2025 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Demi Engman, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a Rezoning request from RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to GC -MD (General Commercial Multiple -Family Dwelling) or a more restrictive district. FILE: PZ2025-25 STAFF REPORT Property Owner Jaramillo Lucas, is requesting a rezoning for the 1.08- acre property at 6690 Rebecca Lane, located at the intersection of Rebecca Lane and Comstock Road. Mr. Lucas seeks to change the zoning from R-S (Residential Single Family Dwelling) to GC -MD (General Commercial Multiple — Family Dwelling) District. This request follows a violation notice from the Planning Department, indicating that his business "Lucas Lawn Service & Landscaping LLC" is not in compliance with the City's adopted Code of Ordinances. The rezoning request is intended to allow his business to continue operating at this location. If approved, this rezoning could result in "spot zoning", introducing a high -density commercial use(s) into a predominantly single-family residential area. This includes surrounding properties, such as Lefler Park to the west. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for Beaumont and may violate Chapter 211 of the Local Government Code. According to the Comprehensive Plan the property is located within a "Stable Area", which is "characterized by good to excellent structural conditions and neighborhoods that are free from blighting influences, such as incompatible land uses, dilapidated buildings and a deteriorated or poor public infrastructure. Vacant parcels which may exist are good to excellent development sites." The existing residential zoning district and single-family homes in the area align with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Staff recommends denial of this request. Exhibits are attached.
