AYES:MAYOR WEST, MAYOR PRO TEM TURNER, COUNCILMEMBERS DURIO, HILLIARD, WILLIAMS, SHERWOOD AND CRENSHAW NAYS:NONE MOTION PASSED REGULAR AGENDA 1.Council to consider a resolution approving Chapter 380 incentives for economic development activities and authorizing the execution of a Chapter 380 economic development agreement with Beaumont 194 LLC for public infrastructure improvements to promote development along the Northwest Parkway and Pointe Parkway corridor. The City of Beaumont has been approached by Beaumont 194 LLC with a proposal to develop an approximately 87-acre planned unit development located at the intersection of Northwest Parkway and Pointe Parkway. The Golden Triangle area has experienced industrial expansion, creating increased demand for housing to support a growing workforce. The proposed development is intended to address this need by dedicating approximately 1.8 acres for commercial use, with the remainder of the property planned for residential development to enhance local housing availability. Pursuant to Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code, the Project is expected to promote economic development and stimulate activity. The developer has committed to constructing the public infrastructure improvements described in Exhibit B of the proposed agreement. These improvements are anticipated to increase the city’s ad valorem tax base, support population growth, and enhance the viability of future mixeduse Minutes – June 2, 2026 development along the Northwest Parkway corridor. These public benefits would not reasonably occur in the absence of the proposed infrastructure improvements and associated agreement. The City of Beaumont has discussed with the developers the following incentives in keeping with its Chapter 380 economic development program policies as follows: 1.75% of ad valorem taxes received by the City for each home shall be reimbursed in Grant Payments to the Developer for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) consecutive years or until 100% of the Final Estimate is reimbursed to the Developer, whichever is less. In return the Developer will construct the following public infrastructure improvements within the timeframe outlined in Exhibit B of the attached agreement: 1.Regional Lift Station; 2.Offsite Drainage Improvements; and 3.Construct a portion of Pointe Parkway to the north Additionally, the agreement requires the Developer to make a good faith effort to use qualified local vendors, contractors, and service providers for the Project whenever feasible and legally permissible, to provide preference to competitive local vendors. Grant Payments will be funded from a portion of the new property tax revenue generated by the development. As a result, the city will rebate part of that new revenue to the developer, which will reduce the amount of new tax revenue that would otherwise be available to support the General Fund during the incentive period. Approval of the resolution. Councilmember Crenshaw moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION FOR CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES FOR BEAUMONT 194 LLC, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT LOCATED NEAR POINTE PARKWAY AND NORTHWEST PARKWAY WITHIN THE CITY OF BEAUMONT IS HEREBY APPROVED; AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AND HE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT WITH BEAUMONT 194 LLC.

John Montag on behalf of All Saints Episcopal School is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a new classroom to be built at the existing school located within an RMH (Residential Multiple Family-Highest Density) zoning district at 4108 Delaware Street. The construction and renovation of an approximately 16,000 square foot facility will serve students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade and primarily support the school’s Art and Music Programs. At a Joint Public Hearing held on May 18, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended 8:0 to approve the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a new classroom building within an RM-H (Residential Multiple Family-Highest Density) District for property located at 4108 Delaware Street, with the following conditions: 1.Shall comply with all applicable Building and Fire codes. 2.Parking lot construction shall comply with typical parking lot detail required by Engineering. 3.Construction plans must meet all requirements by Water Utilities for any water and sanitary sewer improvements, including any requirements of the City’s backflow, pre-treatments, and/or F.O.G program.

AYES:MAYOR WEST, MAYOR PRO TEM TURNER, COUNCILMEMBERS DURIO, HILLIARD, WILLIAMS, SHERWOOD AND CRENSHAW Minutes – June 2, 2026 NAYS:NONE MOTION PASSED ORDINANCE 26-031 9.Council to consider a Rezoning from RM-H (Residential Multiple Family–Highest Density) District to GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District for property located at 5980 Concord Road. Hani Tohme, on behalf of the property owner, is requesting approval or a Rezoning of approximately three (3) acres of land located at 5980 Concord Road from RM-H (Residential Multiple Family-Highest Density) to GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) or a more restrictive zoning district. The purpose of the request is to allow for the proposed development of a food truck park. According to the Comprehensive Plan the property is located within a Stable Area, “these are built up areas which are generally characterized by good to excellent structural conditions and neighborhoods that are free from blighting influences such as incompatible land uses, dilapidated and delict buildings and a deteriorated or poor public infrastructure.

BACKGROUND The Public Works department is seeking grant funds to develop an Access for All Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition plan that supports infrastructure, behavioral and operational initiatives for the prevention of fatalities and serious injuries on roads and streets within the City of Beaumont. This consultant led initiative will provide the City with the structure to fully implement roadway and street improvements for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators. The Public Works department has aligned their budget to this grant opportunity and its twenty percent match ($120,000). FUNDING SOURCE Local Share – Streets & Drainage Fund U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All RECOMMENDATION Approval of the resolution. ATTACHMENTS Grant Overview City of Beaumont Access for All ADA Transition Plan Project Overview The City of Beaumont seeks $480,000 in FY2026 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Supplemental Planning funding, with a $120,000 local match, for a total project cost of $600,000 to develop a comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan focused on the public right-of-way (PROW). The project will establish a citywide implementation-ready framework to identify, prioritize, and address pedestrian accessibility and safety deficiencies involving sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian crossings, shared-use paths, transit access routes, and related pedestrian facilities. Selection Criterion #1 & #2: Safety Context and Safety Impact Crash data show a significant roadway safety need in Beaumont, especially for people walking and biking. Based on 2019- 115,2822 fatalities per 100,000 residents. TxDOT Crash Records Information System data from 2021 through 2025 further show that Beaumont experienced 18,968 crashes, including 91 fatal crashes and 472 suspected serious injury crashes. The data also include 257 pedestrian crashes and 129 bicycle crashes. While pedestrian and bicycle crashes represented only about 2% of all crashes, they accounted for 37 fatal crashes and 93 suspected serious injuries, representing approximately 41% of fatal crashes and 17% of suspected serious injuries citywide. These crash outcomes are connected to systemic pedestrian safety and accessibility deficiencies throughout the community. Existing conditions include fragmented sidewalk networks, missing pedestrian connections, inaccessible or deteriorated curb ramps, unenhanced crossings, sidewalk obstructions, and aging pedestrian infrastructure that does not consistently meet ADA or PROWAG standards. These barriers can force pedestrians, particularly individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, canes, or other mobility devices, to travel in vehicle lanes, cross at unsafe locations, or use disconnected routes to reach schools, transit stops, healthcare facilities, parks, employment centers, and essential services. The City currently does not have a comprehensive ADA Transition Plan or citywide framework for identifying, prioritizing, and correcting pedestrian accessibility barriers in the public right-of- way. Without a formal inventory and prioritization process, Beaumont cannot systematically address locations where inaccessible or missing pedestrian infrastructure contributes to unsafe roadway conditions and increased crash exposure. The proposed Supplemental Planning activities will address this gap by identifying high-risk pedestrian accessibility deficiencies, evaluating systemic safety concerns affecting vulnerable roadway users, and establishing a data-driven implementation strategy for improving pedestrian safety and accessibility throughout Beaumont. Supplemental Planning Scope of Work Comprehensive inventory and condition assessment of sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian crossings, pedestrian signals, shared-use paths, and transit access routes; GIS-based mapping and documentation of accessibility barriers and pedestrian safety deficiencies; Evaluation of facilities using ADA and PROWAG standards; Identification of missing pedestrian connections, inaccessible curb ramps, and pedestrian network gaps; Development of a data-driven prioritization framework based on safety risk, accessibility need, equity, and connectivity; Public and stakeholder engagement focused on vulnerable roadway users and individuals with disabilities; Development of planning-level cost estimates, funding strategies, and phased implementation recommendations; and Preparation of a final ADA Transition Plan with prioritized projects, implementation guidance, and performance measures. How the Planning Activities Will Inform an Action Plan The City of Beaumont received SS4A funding in FY25 and is working on the federal agreement. efforts by providing a GIS-based inventory of pedestrian accessibility and safety conditions, prioritized project recommendations, implementation schedules, planning-level cost estimates, and performance measures. These outputs will help the City integrate pedestrian accessibility into transportation planning, capital programming, maintenance activities, and future roadway safety initiatives. The plan will also support future funding pursuits, including SS4A Implementation Grants and other state and federal pedestrian safety programs. By identifying where accessibility barriers overlap with pedestrian safety risks, the plan will help Beaumont reduce crash exposure for vulnerable roadway users and improve accessible connections to schools, transit stops, healthcare facilities, parks, employment centers, and essential services. Selection Criterion #3: Underserved Communities The City of Beaumont has a 2020 Census population of 115,282, is considered rural for FY2026 SS4A purposes, and has approximately 50% of its population living in Areas of Persistent Poverty. The proposed ADA Transition Plan will support a citywide assessment of pedestrian accessibility needs, including underserved areas where accessible sidewalks, crossings, curb ramps, and connections to essential destinations are especially important.
