FROM: Adina Josey, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Special Exception to reduce off-street parking
requirements.
FILE: 732-BA
STAFF REPORT
Christy Alkire has applied for a special exception to waive off-street parking requirements for
the property at 8080 Eastex Freeway.
Special exception (c.) allows a waiver to off-street parking when the Board finds the same is
unnecessary for the proposed use of the building for which the request applies.
The applicant would like to open an Escape Room at this location. This operation will
accommodate small, pre-scheduled groups. By strict compliance with the City of Beaumont
zoning regulations, the use would require 49 parking spaces. There are 17 spaces available for
the property. The applicant states that a maximum of 16 parking spaces would be needed at any
given time.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary
for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
