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.
