# Board of Adjustment Meeting Nov 5, 2026 | City of Beaumont, TX

The City of Beaumont Board of Adjustment met on November 5, 2026, to consider zoning variances. For PZ 2026-284 at 4935 Belmont Street, the applicant amended a request for a new commercial engine-building facility to reduce the side-yard setback from 5 feet to 2 feet and the pavement setback from 2 feet to zero. A motion and second to approve the amended request were recorded, but the vote result is not captured in the transcript. PZ 2026-298, concerning setback, lot-size, and pavement variances to divide existing apartments at 1120 Oregon Avenue into separate lots, was approved by a recorded 4-0 vote. Lamar University opposed the request, citing potential impacts on campus development plans.

For PZ 2026-299 at 1034 Oregon Avenue, the Board considered reduced setbacks to replat property with existing apartment buildings; Lamar University said an RFQ for a 1,000-bed honors-college housing project was due to be issued the following Monday and opposed the variance. The transcript indicates the variance was approved, though the motion and vote details are garbled. The final item, PZ 2026-317, concerned front- and side-yard variances for a home at 2550 Linton Avenue; the transcript ends before any decision is recorded. No City contract award or purchasing decision was identified; the university’s planned RFQ was mentioned as context for its opposition.
