STAFF REPORT
John Rose, representing HEB Grocery Co., L.P., has applied for
variances to the minimum rear yard building setback and to the
minimum side yard building setback from 10' to 0' and from the
landscaping requirement of providing a landscaped island for every 10
parking spaces in the parking lot.
Mr. Rose states that HEB wishes to construct a 68,000 sq. ft. grocery
store on the site of the old Baptist Hospital. Due to the required
number of parking spaces and the need to maximize the number of
customer parking spaces in front of the store, the building needs to be
pushed to the north. The need for parking spaces is also impacting
the installation of landscaped islands within the interior of the parking
lot. One island is required for every ten parking spaces. If the
interior islands are waived, HEB proposes that the number of trees
around the perimeter of the property will be increased by 50%.
HEB is working with the City on realigning a portion of Stagg Drive.
Portions of the right-of-way are being vacated, new right-of-way is
being dedicated and street pavement is being realigned.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.

SUBJECT: Consider a request for a revision to the variance granted by the
Board of Adjustment on June 7, 2012
FILE: 645-BA
STAFF REPORT
On June 7, 2012, the Board of Adjustment approved the following
for variances for the new HEB grocery store at 3536 College:
The decision approves a variance to the minimum side yard setback
reducing that setback from 10' to 0' along an 80' line running north
and south along the western edge of the former Stagg Drive
right-of-way abandoned by the City of Beaumont prior to June 7,
2012; and a variance to the minimum rear yard setback reducing
that setback from 10' to 0' along the southern boundary of Stagg
th
Drive commencing at a point 90' from the eastern boundary of 11
Street right-of-way and proceeding eastward along the northern
boundary of the subject property; and waiving the landscape
requirement of providing a landscape island for every 10 parking
spaces in the parking lot upon the promise of the landowner to
reasonably offset this requirement with other landscape that consist of
trees planted along the boundary of the subject property.
Due to the fact that at the time of the Board of Adjustment=s public
hearing, City Council had not actually approved the abandonment.
City Council approved the abandonment on August 28, 2012.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Board=s variance approval be
amended as follows:
The decision approves a variance to the minimum side yard setback
reducing that setback from 10' to 0' along an 80' line running north
th
and south located 290.14' east of the east right-of-way line of 11
Street along the western edge of the former Stagg Drive right-of-way
abandoned by the City of Beaumont on or prior to August 28, 2012;
and a variance to the minimum rear yard setback reducing that
setback from 10' to 0' along the southern boundary of Stagg Drive
th
commencing at a point 90' from the eastern boundary of 11 Street
right-of-way and proceeding eastward along the northern boundary
of the subject property; and waiving the landscape requirement of
providing a landscape island for every 10 parking spaces in the
parking lot upon the promise of the landowner to reasonably offset
this requirement with other landscape that consist of trees planted
along the boundary of the subject property.
Exhibit is attached.
