Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert L. Vestal, City Engineer I Public Works Director BY: Vincent Lopez, Project Manager
DATE: January 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with Cozad & Fox, Inc Description: A Professional Services Agreement with Cozad & Fox for the Desert Lawn Slope Restoration — Capital Improvement Project (CIP) R-26-10.
Background and Analysis:
In 2022, the City of Beaumont (City) experienced an extreme weather event that generated unusually high stormwater runoff throughout its drainage network. During this event, the 36- inch reinforced concrete storm drainpipe connected to the inlet located adjacent to Desert Lawn Drive, east of Champions Drive, sustained significant structural failure. The excessive hydraulic loading funneled through the inlet exceeded the pipe's design capacity, resulting in joint separation along multiple segments of the line. This joint failure allowed uncontrolled discharge and soil migration, which in turn triggered substantial erosion along the slope where the pipeline was originally embedded. The progressive loss of supporting material further compromised the integrity of the storm drain system and contributed to the overall failure observed at the site.
To address the storm drainpipe failure, the City dedicated capital improvement funding and initiated the Desert Lawn Slope Restoration Project (CIP R- 26- 10). The Project encompasses a comprehensive set of engineering, environmental, and administrative tasks necessary to restore the functionality of the drainage system and stabilize the adjacent slope. The scope of work includes stakeholder coordination meetings, detailed site assessments, topographic and boundary land surveying, and geotechnical investigations to evaluate subsurface conditions and inform design recommendations.
In addition, the Project involves preparation of a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption, development of full construction plans and technical specifications, and design of corrective measures to repair the storm drainpipe and reestablish long- term slope stability along the area contiguous to the Tukwet Golf Course.
In October 2025, the City began requesting proposals from engineering consulting firms to prepare the engineering plans and specifications to reconstruct the storm drainpipe and restore the eroded slope. The City received three (3) proposals for this Project:
• NV5:
• EXP U.S. Services:
• Cozad & Fox, Inc.:
$159,835.00
$155,628.00
$ 56,177.00
On December 29, 2025, at the request of the City, Cozad & Fox submitted a revised proposal in the amount of $65,984 that includes geotechnical engineering for stabilization of the slope. This scope and fee for the proposal are commensurate with the purpose of the Project. The revised proposal from Cozad & Fox is provided as Attachment A for reference.
While the proposed agreement is under the $75,000 threshold, the City also used this vendor for the 2nd Street extension project awarded in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025.
Payments in FY 2025/2026 come out to $10,600.69, pushing the amount for this vendor over $75,000. Due to this, staff recommends that the City Council award a Professional Services Agreement with Cozad & Fox, Inc. in an amount not -to -exceed $65,984, through February 2, 2029, to prepare the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E).
The Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for Cozad & Fox has been provided as Attachment B for reference.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost to prepare this staff report is estimated to be $350.
Funding for this Project is provided by CIP R-26-10 Desert Lawn Slope Restoration. The following is a summary of the project funding and budget:
CIP R-26-10 Desert Lawn Slope Restoration Project Funding Summary Estimated Total Project Budget= $300,000

Dear Vincent,
Cozad & Fox, Inc. is pleased to provide the following proposal for Engineering and Surveying Services for the Desert Lawn Slope Restoration Project. Cozad & Fox, Inc. visited the site on 10-9-25 to become familiar with the project. It is our understanding that a portion of the existing storm drain system (approximately 150 -feet in length) and slope along Desert Lawn Drive have failed due to erosion from recent storms. It is also our understanding that the City would like the Design Engineer to include a geotechnical report with remediation recommendations based on the existing slope conditions. Cozad & Fox, Inc. will utilize Verdantas as a subconsultant to prepare the Geotechnical Report. Cozad & Fox, Inc., is pleased to provide the following services:
1. RESEARCH AND REVIEW — Cozad & Fox, Inc. will research existing survey records with the Riverside County Surveyor's office. Cozad & Fox, Inc. will review the record data in order to establish a base map to be utilized for locating existing right-of-way monumentation, easements, and improvements.

RE: ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING SERVICES FOR THE DESERT LAWN SLOPE
RESTORATION PROJECT
Dear Vincent,
Cozad & Fox, Inc. is pleased to provide the following proposal for Engineering and Surveying Services for the Desert Lawn Slope Restoration Project. Cozad & Fox, Inc. visited the site on 10-9-25 to become familiar with the project. It is our understanding that a portion of the existing storm drain system (approximately 150 -feet in length) and slope along Desert Lawn Drive have failed due to erosion from recent storms. It is also our understanding that the City would like the Design Engineer to include a geotechnical report with remediation recommendations based on the existing slope conditions. Cozad & Fox, Inc. will utilize Verdantas as a subconsultant to prepare the Geotechnical Report. Cozad & Fox, Inc., is pleased to provide the following services:
1. RESEARCH AND REVIEW — Cozad & Fox, Inc. will research existing survey records with the Riverside County Surveyor's office. Cozad & Fox, Inc. will review the record data in order to establish a base map to be utilized for locating existing right-of-way monumentation, easements, and improvements. Cozad & Fox, Inc. will review the title report for record easements and other encumbrances. This task assumes the City will furnish the title report.
Estimate $1,203.00
2. FIELD TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY — Cozad & Fox, Inc. will confirm the elevations provided on topographic survey furnished by the City and determine the elevations of key design elements including the storm drain inverts, the limits of slope failure, visible existing irrigation lines, and the limits of existing improvements.

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert L. Vestal, City Engineer I Public Works Director BY: Matthew Mendoza, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: January 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Cooperative Agreement - Highland Springs Interchange Description: A Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement for the I-10/Highland Springs Avenue Interchange Project.
Background and Analysis:
On September 17, 2019, the City Council approved a cooperative agreement between the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), the City of Banning, and the City of Beaumont for the preparation of a Project Study Report (PSR) for the I-10/ Highland Springs Interchange (Project). Subsequently, on May 18, 2021, the City Council approved the first amendment to include the project approval and environmental documentation (PA/ED) phase.
Project Update
The Project is currently in the PA/ED phase, and the environmental document is scheduled for completion by 2027. Several alternatives were developed and reviewed by Caltrans and have been dropped from further consideration due to various design and traffic issues. Project engineers and staff, in conjunction with Caltrans, have developed a new design alternative (Alternative 5) for evaluation. This design alternative has been provided as Attachment B for reference. Staff and Caltrans continue to progress with the project, conducting field studies and analyses, and developing technical traffic and environmental analysis and reports.
As a result of deficiencies in previous designs and the subsequent development of Alternative 5, the need for additional project funding was identified. In March 2025, RCTC began coordination with Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) regarding an amendment to the funding agreement. As a result, the Zone Executive Committee approved the Zone Pass Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) on June 18, 2025.
On August 4, 2025, the Zone Pass TIP was approved by the WRCOG Executive Committee along with a formal funding agreement amendment. The WRCOG funding amendment adds an additional $2,000,000 in funding for the Project. These funds will be provided through the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Zone and will be used for project management, consultant, and agency fees to complete the PA/ED phase. Any remaining funds can be reallocated for subsequent design phases.
On September 10, 2025, RCTC approved the funding amendment, along with the 2nd amendment to the Cooperative agreement with the City of Beaumont and the City of Banning. The amendment to the Cooperative Agreement, provided as Attachment A, memorializes the additional funding provided by WRCOG, which terms are provided in WRCOG Funding Agreement No. 20-72-018-03, and RCTC's continued role as lead agency through the completion of the PA/ED phase.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost to prepare this staff report is estimated to be $380.
There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with this amendment.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the Mayor to execute the Second Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the Riverside County Transportation Commission and the City of Banning for the Management of the I-10/Highland Springs Avenue Interchange Project.

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert L. Vestal, City Engineer I Public Works Director BY: Robert L. Vestal, City Engineer I Public Works Director DATE: January 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Downtown Revitalization Discussion
Description: Discuss the City's Downtown Revitalization Plan Background and Analysis:
On September 17, 2024, City Council adopted PLAN2023-0998 Downtown Revitalization Plan (Plan). Refer to attachment A for the Plan and attachment B for the staff report. The following link provides access to the YouTube recording of this Council meeting (discussion occurred at -0:54:00)4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPJ3 ZOUG54.
On August 19, 2025, City Council received a review of the Plan Implementation steps.
Refer to attachment C for the staff report. The following link provides access to the YouTube recording of this Council meeting (discussion occurred at 3:22:00) 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p706MLiL9KU .
On September 2, 2025, City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to GHD, Inc. for the preliminary design report for the Plan. Refer to attachment D for the staff report. The following link provides access to the YouTube recording of this Council meeting (discussion occurred at 3:27:00) 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e31o2APwDlc
On November 18, 2025, City Council adopted a resolution amending the 2026 Capital Improvement Program, closing the Downtown Revitalization Preliminary Design project (CIP R-25-15) and repurposing the budget to be used for Pennsylvania Grade Separation Project. Subsequently, the contract with GHD, Inc. was terminated. Refer to attachment E for the staff report.
Additional Information
During the August 19, 2025, Council Meeting, City Council expressed concerns on the impact the Plan will have on traffic and circulation. City staff contracted with Fehr and
Peers to analyze the impacts at a high-level. The intent of the high-level analysis is to provide City Council with the basic impacts for programming and planning purposes.
The design and engineering contract will evaluate the traffic impacts at the project level.
The high-level traffic analysis for the proposed Plan indicates that approximately 36% of current trips on the corridor are pass -through traffic not originating or ending in Beaumont. Using the Riverside Countywide Travel Demand Model, Fehr & Peers estimates that reducing 6th Street from four lanes to two lanes would divert about 700 daily trips primarily to I- 10, Pennsylvania Avenue, 1st Street, Palm Avenue, Oak Valley Parkway, and Cougar Way, while volumes on Beaumont Avenue and California Avenue may decrease. In general, the observations of the data show:
• Approximately 1/3 of all vehicles using 6th Street do not originate from or are destined to locations within the City of Beaumont and are simply "passing through" the city.
• It is estimated that 700 vehicles will divert from 6th Street with the road diet.
These trips will primarily divert back to I-10 or will utilize a combination of Pennsylvania Avenue, 1st Street, Palm Avenue, Oak Valley Parkway and Cougar Way.
Given that a two-lane roadway typically accommodates around 15,000 daily trips, the projected diversion represents less than a 5% change in volume -to -capacity ratios —well within normal day-to-day traffic fluctuations. Refer to Figure 1 for the travel demand redistribution.

Estimated Project Cost
The estimate total project cost is approximately $27 million, which includes:
1. Design, studies, environmental, and regulatory permitting
2. Roadway and sidewalks - The layout and materials used for driving and walking.
3. Street furniture — Benches, trash bins, bike racks, lighting, and signage.
4. Landscaping — Trees, plants, and green spaces along the street.
5. Public spaces — Plazas, seating areas, and gathering spots integrated into the street design.
6. Traffic elements — Crosswalks, signals, and curb extensions for safety and flow.
The cost does not include building frontages, walking paths outside the public right-of- way, development, redevelopment, off-street parking, or other elements not directly associated with the public right-of-way.
Additionally, the estimated cost is a planning -level estimate and should be updated with a detailed engineer's estimate during the preliminary and final engineering phases.
Project Budget
The project was removed from the Capital Improvement Plan on November 18, 2025; therefore, it does not have any funding.
• Preliminary design and supporting design studies are estimated to cost $2M.
This phase can be considered for inclusion in the FY27 Capital Budget using Developer Impact Fees, Community Benefit Fees, and General Funds.
• Final Engineering and regulatory permitting are estimated to cost $5M. This phase could be considered for inclusion in a future Capital Budget using grants, Community Benefit Fees, General Funds, and other funding sources. • Construction is estimated to cost $20M. The City will need to develop a funding strategy to fund this phase, which may include grants, VMT Mitigation Credit sales, Community Benefit Fees, General Fund, and other funding sources. DIF cannot be used for the construction due to existing deficiencies and a reduction in capacity.

1.1 CAPTURING THE
FUTURE IN DOWNTOWN
Downtown Beaumont is the
longstanding heart of the
community. While rapid growth
has seen suburban forms
community expansion in other
areas of the City, this plan
envisions and enables the City's
return to a revitalized, walkable,
entrepreneurial and resilient
district its citizens demand and
deserve.
CAPTURING THE FUTURE IN
THE HEART OF BEAUMONT
Beaumont is among Southern California's fastest
growing communities, seeing residential construction
permitting from 2018 through 2022 averaging 535 single
family homes per year. In recent years, the City has
been home to 56,349 residents (2022) living in about
17,000 households. Based on current growth trends the
General Plan considers a projected 31,021 households
at build -out and a total of 40,849 households inclusive of the immediate "sphere of influence". In all, the City is anticipated to see at least a doubling of the local
population by 2050 at this current pace. The new and
existing residents already demand an attractive and
walkable retail and dining destination within the City.
Many already describe weekend and evening trips to
Redlands and Temecula for such goods and services.
The challenge we face is capturing this demand for a true downtown setting that serves the local population and
may potentially attract traveler stops along Interstate 10.
Downtown Beaumont uniquely features the City's
entrepreneurial spirit with a broad range of small
businesses. Seven of the nine highest rated (Yelp
rated 4 and above) full -service and quick casual dining businesses in Downtown are independent non -chain
restaurants. The district also hosts the annual Cherry
Valley festival at Stewart Park and related parade along 6th Street. This district of small-scale development and small businesses contrasts with the big -box anchored
strip retail developments along E 2nd St. These two
5th Street, Downtown Beaumont in the 1940s
4 areas are deemed complimentary rather than competing, because residents demand a walkable district consisting of independent higher quality dining surrounded by
shaded street -facing outdoor environments.
This district will reflect the future of economic and
community development in the greater San Gorgonio
Pass area because it prepares the City to enable and
encourage development types introduce "gentle density"
to reconstitute a compact Downtown. Small format
independent non-drive-thru restaurants that share public and publicly accessible common spaces are likely to be
the first to develop. Then, housing types in the "missing middle" density range such as townhomes, more compact
stand along single family units, and bungalow courts
all offer more affordable starter homes that bring a
captive constituency needed to support new Downtown
retail. Mixed use development with housing over retail
and dining is evaluated for sites along 6th St. Together, introducing these types means bringing new forms of
growth already sought by developers and tenants.
Likewise, residents and business owners demand
transformative change to the two major corridors of
Downtown along Beaumont Ave and 6th St. Current
road configurations for both enable speeding while
pedestrians must manage unsafe crossing. The roadway
reconfigurations for both promote pedestrian attendance of multiple businesses after parking once. The median
parking proposal along 6th St in conjunction with two
proposed roundabouts will render Downtown Beaumont's
main drag as the regions most impactful stroke of
urban cooling, walkability enhancement, and landmark
placemaking in the region.
In all, this Revitalization Plan envisions the addition of 8 to 12 dining establishments, a total addition of
around 70,000 gross square feet of commercial space,
surrounded by infill development of 93 additional dwelling units. The plan therefore captures as much as 6% of the total long-term retail growth anticipated in the recent Economic Development Strategic Plan and as much as
15% to 20% of the total growth in dining floor -area.
DOWNTOWN ECONOMIC
CAPACITY AND VIABILITY
The Revitalization Plan addresses the Economic
Development Strategic Plan by measuring how much of
the citywide projected housing and commercial growth
can be accommodated in the Downtown Area. The
development proposals shown in this plan constitute
a capacity study where building types most sought by
tenants and developers are determined economically
viable, then are sized to fit the available opportunity sites. That test of economic viability requires that the individual uses within each project, and the sum of all development in the capacity study, fit a projection of
incremental economic growth. These proposals need
also to fit the overall vision for land use, street frontage activation, and livability described in the Downtown Area Plan.

THE PAST AND FUTURE IN
DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT
Downtown Beaumont and its immediate vicinity have
long been the heart of activity in the San Gorgonio Pass Area. As the community of San Gorgonio this core area
of Beaumont hosted the main railroad depot known as
Summit Station between Redlands and the Coachella
Valley at Egan Ave immediately south of Downtown
in the 1880s. Visitors would flock to the Beaumont
Hotel, operating from 1887 to 1907, which stood at
approximately 5th St and Beaumont Ave - near the heart
of Downtown today. The district was home to several
hotels accommodating Pass travelers over the decades
before and proceeding.
The area remained the core of the City of Beaumont
through the City's founding in 1912. The historic City
Hall still stands on Grace Avenue, and several historic structures existing in or near the Revitalization Plan
study area, including a Carnegie Library and many

Victorian homes. Downtown was the commercial hub
of the "Balanced City" which was partially lost when the Interstate system was constructed in 1964. Until that
time, 5th St was the commercial spine of Downtown and
6th St supported some auto -oriented commercial on its
western end near California Ave.
The City of Beaumont has been engaged in a variety
of revitalization efforts in the downtown since the
mid -1990s, including Redevelopment Agency efforts,
the development of affordable housing sites, city
sponsored landscaping and maintenance services, and
Cherry Valley Festival Parade on 6th St in 1947
the introduction of special events. The City sponsored
a Facade Improvement Program in 2008 and is looking
to reintroduce the program in the future along with
a Downtown Signage Program. With the demise of
Redevelopment Agencies in the State of California,
the Downtown Area Plan and this Revitalization Plan
are intended to serve as the guiding documents to be
used by City staff in implementing a City -led effort to reconfigure Downtown as a walkable economic center
once more.

REVITALIZATION PLAN BOUNDARY
This Revitalization Plan addresses a smaller area of focus within the boundary of the Downtown Area Plan with one
exception where the Revitalization Plan extends just beyond the western boundary of the Area Plan along W. 6th St. In summary, the Revitalization Plan boundary extends one
block east and west of Beaumont Ave north to E 11th St. It includes one block north and south of W. 6th St and E. 6th St (summarized as 6th St in this document) along the length of this corridor, beginning at Veile Ave at the west periphery and east to Pennsylvania Ave. Parcels fronting 5th St to its north and south to Interstate 10 are included. The plan boundary includes the Civic Center block extending to its northern limit at E 7th St and entails recommended use beyond that on an adjoining City -owned residential house lot. Plan proposals for private development and public realm improvements are focused within these extents but confined northward at 8th St on Beaumont Ave and out to Palm Ave along 6th most of which entails the Downtown District identified in the Area Plan.
6 1.2 PLAN OVERVIEW
This Plan is Intended to guide
implementation of the Area
Plan, set expectations about the
economic capacity of Downtown,
capture the view of stakeholders,
and arrange priorities for the City.
PURPOSE & INTENT
This Downtown Revitalization Plan builds on the strategic planning and economic development work already
completed by the City through 2022 and in conjunction
with an update of the downtown development code that
commenced in 2023. This document directly supports
and adds detail to the Downtown Area Plan. The primary
purpose of this document is to describe a downtown -
specific economic development plan and project -by -
project feasibility report.
In this way, it also is a guide for implementation of the Area Plan. This includes adding site -specific physical proposals for streetscapes and private development
projects that are economically viable in the near term.
Each of those proposals is accompanied by a step-by-
step list of initial actions; further, district -wide measures to allow, stimulate, facilitate development within the
Downtown area follow in the implementation chapter.
The Downtown Area Plan combines years of direct
stakeholder engagement through the City's ongoing
relationships borne by business development efforts.
The first round of workshops for a public audience and
the planning commission was an opportunity to revisit
and confirm Area Plan roadway proposals against
alternatives. This and stakeholder approval of Downtown Vision development types mean the Revitalization Plan is an outreach extension of the Area Plan as well.
APPLICABILITY
The Downtown Area Plan will remain the planning policy
in -force for Downtown Beaumont, and the Revitalization Plan does not repeal, nor replace, and portion of the
Area Plan. This document does make recommendations
for revisions to the Zoning development standards that
previously were drawn from the Area Plan. Because
all roadway proposals provided in the Area Plan were
affirmed and approved by stakeholders in Revitalization Plan workshops, those streetscape concepts do not
change. In summary, this document is supportive of the
Area Plan and under separate cover, upon City Council
Approval.
Other elements of this work that will affect standing
documents include a recommendation to prepare an
Addendum to the Program Environmental Impact Report
for the General Plan that is pertinent to Downtown is
advised and would modify the environmental reporting.
Governance programs and capital improvements from
this plan are expected to be added to regular Capital
Improvement Programming (CIP) as needed over time.
The Revitalization Plan is accompanied under separate
cover by a Downtown Signage Program and Architectural
Guidelines, which are separately adopted by the City
Council. The Architectural Guideline for Downtown does
not replace or change any aspect of the revised Code but may be used by Planning staff in project reviews.
PLAN OBJECTIVES
An overview of this Plan's objectives delivered in this, and accompanying reports/appendices are as follows:
• Provide a comprehensive policy and regulations
analysis of all City documents pertaining to
Downtown, especially focusing on codes affecting
development.
• Collaborate with Downtown business and property
owners, City Staff, and Council to review current
Vision concept development types and streetscape
concepts.
• Assess the market feasibility for economic uses
and development types for specific Downtown sites
and determine compatible and practical Downtown
projects.
• Review the Downtown Area Plan, Economic
Development Strategic Plan, Zoning Code and
General Plan and provide recommended changes in
this Plan.
• Review the General Plan PEIR to determine if
additional CEQA analysis will be needed for
implementation.
• Obtain input through surveys, community meetings
and directly with local stakeholders including
Downtown merchants and property owners.
• Assess existing conditions, past performance, and
future trends in conjunction with stakeholder input to
build on the Downtown Vision with City Staff.
• Produce a Downtown Revitalization Plan and
Implementation Plan (with phasing and estimated
costs to begin implementing improvements).
• Prepare an administrative draft to be presented to
City Staff, incorporate final input and prepare a Final Document to be presented to the City.
7 DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT I REVITALIZATION PLAN
REVITALIZATION PLAN STRUCTURE
This plan is organized into four major parts:
Part I - Background + Downtown Vision includes
the introductory Overview + Background chapter.
This is followed by a review of existing conditions
in Chapter 2 - Downtown Context + Vision. This
includes a review of policies and prior planning,
downtown opportunity sites, and a summary of the
Development Forecast drawn from the economic
study prepared in conjunction with this plan.
Stakeholder interviews prepared by that economics
consultant are also summarized. Chapter 3 -
Community Workshops + Alternatives serves as a
comprehensive review of engagement to ensure
this is a community led strategic document. In
Chapter 3, voting returns on street section and
community transformation alternatives are included
- as well as stakeholder priorities for Downtown.
Part II - Development + Mobility includes physical
proposals for Revitalization to help envision a
redeveloped and reconfigured Downtown.
Chapter 4 - Revitalization Through Development
focuses on economic opportunities through land
use and private development. Some of those
projects may occur on City -owned lands and entail
partnership with private developers. Elements
of this chapter that are most useful to City staff
are the potential site development yields (or
gross square footage), typical parameters for
economically viable development types, and
site plans that may be used in conversation
between Economic Development and potential
entrepreneurs.
Chapter 5 - Revitalization Through Mobility pertains
to public realm improvements along streets and
rights -of -way. This chapter essentially provides
proof -of -concept plans for street sections on
the books through the Area Plan. It details and
describes how those sections may be prepared
along the length of these corridors. In addition, the
chapter introduces proposed roundabouts along 6th
St. At the end of the chapter is a detailed analysis
of future parking demand compared to supply
followed by recommended options to address future
need.
• Part III - Action Plan includes a detailed
description of governance initiatives and programs
that will benefit all of Downtown. Following that
are detailed instructions and business -friendly
measures that will particularly benefit the City -
led Revitalization Hub projects. At the end of
the Implementation Plan chapter is an Action
Plan timeline. Supporting documents prepared
in conjunction with this plan are provided as
appendices and include the full final economic
report and environmental memo.
• Part IV - Architecture + Signage is a guideline
under separate cover that will be used in design
review and capital improvements discussions to
ensure a cohesive and coherent Downtown physical
environment.

2.1 ELEVATE DOWNTOWN 2050
Downtown Beaumont is the heart of the community, where unique small businesses, City events, local government, and surrounding residents come together. It is a district rich with opportunity and full of human potential.
Understanding the vision, acknowledging challenges, and carefully measuring economic capacity, are the first steps to unlocking this bright future.
OVERVIEW: DOWNTOWN'S
EXISTING CONDITIONS +
CURRENT PLANNING
The current state of planning for Downtown is
documented in the General Plan's Chapter 11 Downtown
Area Plan. It includes a Vision statement which this
Revitalization Plan supports and implements. It is
included on the following pages. The related Land Use
Zones implements that Vision by committing Downtown
to active ground floor uses and which provide the basis of a development code that is being updated concurrent
to this plan. Included in this chapter is a review of the Downtown's physical environment with consideration
to the constraints and opportunities for future growth it provides.
The last section of this chapter is a condensed summary of the concluding economic forecast authored by the
real estate consultant attached to this plan project. It includes a carefully considered outlay for retail, dining, and housing development and their most economically
viable development types.
HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER
This chapter presents a cross section of information
related to existing conditions and current planning. This information can be used to:
• Reiterate our commitment to a vibrant heart for the
community in the Vision Statement from the General
Plan's Downtown Area Plan
• Review the Land Use Zoning plan provided in the
Downtown Area Plan as it organizes development for
the study area
• Understand how this project builds upon and grows
from longstanding planning efforts that include
Downtown going back as far as 2014
• Present the case for a focus on certain opportunities for Downtown development and help the public
understand the rationale behind that vision
• Anticipate the most economically viable highest
and best land uses for developments and their
development types in the economic forecast
10 ELEVATE DOWNTOWN
2050 VISION
VISION STATEMENT
Downtown Beaumont will be the heart of the City, providing an exciting diversity of economic, residential, and cultural opportunities. It will be a vibrant and dynamic place to work, live, shop, and gather for special events. It will also be a pedestrian - friendly environment with comfortable sidewalks and an inviting streetscape. The Downtown Area Plan will create a balanced and integrated mix of residential, office, retail, and civic land uses that generate daily activity in the daytime and evenings and create a lively and dynamic environment. This plan encourages opportunities for public gathering spaces and parks for civic and cultural events that are supported by a street network which meets the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles.

2.2 DOWNTOWN
POLICY CONTEXT
This Revitalization Plan constitutes
a major milestone in a course
of planning in Downtown as far
back as 2014 and builds upon
the detailed policy and design
landscape those efforts provide.
DOWNTOWN LAND USE DISTRICTS
The main element of the Downtown Area Plan is its
Downtown Land Use Districts map and related land use
designations. At the heart of the Area Plan boundary
is the Downtown Mixed Use land use, which includes a
requirement that Active Ground Uses face Beaumont
Ave and 6th St. Here, higher residential densities and
mixed -use development types are encouraged as infill
and redevelopment over time. This constitutes the Area
Plan Downtown Core and is described in the map as the
Downtown District.
• Downtown Mixed Use: maximum density 15 DU/Ac
with maximum FAR of .35
Extending beyond that Downtown District, along 6th
St and Beaumont Ave, are the Beaumont Mixed Use
and Sixth Street Mixed Use land use designations.
The Sixth Street Mixed Use land use designation is
accompanied by a matching "Residential" designation,
with matching development maximums and a
description that more greatly emphasizes large multi-
family projects. These land use designations allow:
• Sixth Street Mixed Use: maximum density 22 DU/Ac
with maximum FAR of .5
• Beaumont Mixed Use: maximum density 10 DU/Ac
with maximum FAR of .35

DOWNTOWN WORKSHOPS
A detailed vision for a major Downtown redevelopment
centered in the study area was presented to the
community by the Economic Development Department.
The concept suggested dramatic mixed -use with
retail ground floor uses facing a highly walkable 6th
St. This vision would be long range, and aspirational,
but provided overall impetus for future discussion of
Downtown Revitalization
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGIC PLAN
The Economic Development Strategic Plan framed an
economic future for all of Beaumont and addressed
future retail and employment opportunities that would
lead to a resilient local economy. Economic development marketing was emphasized as an important "high
priority" measure, with related business outreach
and industry targeting. The report noted the growing
number of young families establishing themselves in new residential areas of Beaumont - enhancing demand for
an attractive and walkable Downtown.
RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL
PLAN + RELATED PEIR
The updated General Plan for Beaumont, adopted as a
whole in early 2021, includes the Downtown Area Plan
that serves as the governing land use policy for the
Downtown Area and encompasses all blocks affected
by this Revitalization Plan. This plan does not replace, but rather, confirms, informs, details, and guides the
implementation of the Area Plan. The Revitalization Plan does this in three major ways:
• Confirms the land use direction and transportation
proposals through outreach that included Area Plan
content
• Informs future land use and development direction
with an economic forecast and development capacity
study
• Details the Area Plan with streetscape plans and
land development concepts site plans
• Guides implementation of the Area Plan with
recommended governance measures and project
timing
The General Plan and Downtown Area Plan chapter
were fully supported through Revitalization Plan public outreach, and development proposals befit the land use
direction intended in this zoning plan. However, some
land use districts allow specific intensities (e.g. floor area ratio (FAR) and dwelling unit counts per acre (DU/Ac))
that unintentionally prevent some building and unit types such as studio flats, one -bedroom flats, and townhomes.
Additionally, some economically viable compact housing
development types appropriate to a low-rise Downtowns
such as this are not allowed in some land use districts.
Therefore, this plan provides some recommended
amendments to these established zones.
Among those recommendations, this plan also suggests
that simplifying the land use districts by reducing
the quantity of zones may be beneficial to Downtown
Revitalization. The related Programmatic Environmental
Impact Report (PEIR) includes Downtown Area Plan
proposals, and this Revitalization Plan aligns with those proposals. The PEIR was reviewed as part of this plan
and a recommendation for a PEIR Amendment is made in
the Implementation Plan chapter.

14 PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Parking Management Plan presents a comprehensive
existing conditions report and strategy to address
future parking demand across the City, and especially
in commercial areas such as Downtown. The report
includes a block -by -block census of on -street parking spaces available and a high level August 2020 peak
occupancy study - the results of which show overcapacity in the near term.
The report promotes the benefits of the Downtown
Area Plan, parking requirements recommendations,
shared parking recommendations, and parking fee in -
lieu recommendations. Details for an eventual parking
meter program are included. Notable is a recognition
of need for more shared public parking facilities and
improvements for pedestrian safety and wayfinding.
The conclusions of the Parking Management Plan are
organized into short, mid, and long term strategies.
Among near term proposals are reduced parking
requirements for Downtown, an in -lieu parking fee.
Mid-term recommendations include streetscapes and
wayfinding improvements; long-term recommendations
focus on demand management through permitting and
pricing.
DOWNTOWN VISION WORKSHOPS
In September of 2022, the regular Downtown Business
and Property Owners meeting included a presentation
and listening session related to $500,000 allocated
to funding of the business incentive programs for
Downtown. Feedback was gathered and the overall
vision and future for Downtown was discussed. An
upcoming consultancy for this Revitalization Plan was
also discussed and the meeting served as a precursor to the Revitalization Plan kickoff in the following December. 6TH CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT
The Beaumont General Plan 6th Cycle Housing Element
was adopted in September of 2022 shortly before this
Revitalization Plan commenced. It does not identify any moderate or affordable housing inventory sites in the

Concurrent to this plan, the City retained Lisa Wise
Consulting to prepare code amendments to provide
Downtown a set of Objective Design Standards pertaining to the Residential Single Family, Residential Traditional Neighborhood, Downtown Mixed -use Zone, Sixth Street
Mixed -use Zone, and Sixth Street Residential Zone.
These design standards were adopted in September
of 2023. These Design Standards include significant
updates to frontage and facade design, access, frontage massing, parking placement and design, windows and
active ground floor design. In addition, Citywide zones are also being updated concurrent to the Revitalization Plan, and Downtown land use recommendations it
provides will be integrated into that zoning amendment. 6a Cycle Housing Element

DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT
IN THE REGION
Beaumont resides at the intersection of State Route 60
and Interstate 10 with connections south via State Route
79. The City occupies the high point along I-10 on its
run between Redlands and Palm Springs. As a result,
Beaumont and neighboring Banning are among the last
communities for eastbound travelers on their way to
the outlying desert of Coachella Valley. This gateway
condition is addressed in the accompanying real estate
forecast as important for long range capture of highway travelers seeking a stopping or way -point to and from
coastal cities.
Many Beaumont residents share stories of long drives of 30 to 60, even 90, minutes to neighboring competitors
for shopping and dining on evenings and weekends
- centers such as Redlands, Temecula, Yucaipa, and
Morongo. These represent a donut ring of attractive
dining and leisure options; in the center is Beaumont's fast growing resident population looking for a local
Downtown in the 10- to 15 -minute range.
In reach of Downtown Beaumont is a row of commercial
"power center" style development along 1st St and 2nd
St at S Highland Springs Ave. These are not deemed
direct economic competition as they favor major chains
and lack the independent commercial and fine dining
emphasized for Downtown's revitalization.
In addition to commercial and build context area major
regional scenic and natural recreational assets in the
backdrop of Mt. Gorgonio and the San Jacinto Mountains.
Idylwild and Oak Glen are rural destinations that add
value to life in the vicinity of Beaumont. Lastly, Cherry Valley serves as an outline residential and rural growth apron for Beaumont - a sphere -of -influence - where
fast growing low -density neighborhoods, community
activities, and local identity are part of the Beaumont picture.

16 2.3 DEVELOPMENT
CONTEXT
Downtown Beaumont is a well
developed commercial area with
historic assets and longstanding
housing; its revitalization as the
heart of the community depends on
improving environmental conditions
and development suitability.
CHALLENGES
The primary challenge to new Downtown development is
a lack of ready -to -build vacant parcels; further, existing parcel patterns consist of shallow and narrow lots of
varied size. Large scale redevelopment is an unsuitable approach to Downtown as most blocks currently host
significant employers and well -loved shops and local go - to dining. Housing is well occupied and some vacant lots exist to support residential infill.
Beyond development conditions, challenges exist to
the safety, comfort, and legibility of the public realm for pedestrians, both visiting and local. Beaumont Ave and
6th St are the main public realm constraints as they are too wide with unsafe travel speeds for pedestrian use.
A lack of shade, street trees, wide usable sidewalks,
wayfinding, and clean multi -use alleys all contribute to the challenge this growing Downtown may face.
Lack of Awareness of
Downtown as a Cohesive
District with a distinct
identity and experience
from other commercial
areas of Beaumont:
While the urban
fabric stands apart
from other areas, there
is a need for end -to -end
sense of being in one
place.
Constrained for Space with
business operations and
multiple site functions
competing for limited
space: Activities such
as shared parking,
dining, accessible
routes, and
driveway access are
compressed. This results
in a less pedestrian -
friendly environment.
Lack of Shaded Outdoor
areas which can serve
dining and pedestrian
activity related to local
restaurants and
regular events: This
includes a lack of a
dedicated streetscape
which can be closed
to vehicle traffic for
walkable events such as
street fairs and markets.
Lack of Large
Contiguous Parcels
with varied building
conditions,
sometimes historic,
adjacent vacancies,
and often under
separate ownership:
The main constraint
to new development is
small parcels.
Business Alleys as
ill-defined spaces
without evident use for
pedestrians: Poorly
lit and potentially
unsafe, all alleys
are candidates for
improvements that
benefit vehicles and
visitors.
Pedestrian unsafe
Downtown streets as a
significant impediment
to revitalization goals:
Excessive vehicle
speeds, unprotected
pedestrian crossings,
narrow sidewalks,
and lack of significant
landscape improvements
are all part of this
challenge.

1 2.4 SELECTED
OPPORTUNITY SITES
The carrying capacity of a revitalized
Downtown Beaumont is measured at
the intersection of the development
forecast for economically viable
projects and the most viable parcels
that can be ready for development
within a 10 to15 year time horizon.
OPPORTUNITIES
The following Downtown sites are included in a capacity study found in the Revitalization through Development
chapter. Each site includes a cluster of parcels that
some have current uses anticipated to remain for many
years; all of these areas have the greatest potential to host vibrant Downtown development projects:
1. Currently the cleaners building at 6th St and Grace
Ave is unoccupied; likewise, the City -owned historic
City Hall (prior School District) is vacant and slated
for renovation. Together they adjoin a small empty
parking area. The end -capping of Grace Ave as public
right-of-way, the City's involvement in repositioning the Beaumont Cleaners toward a new use, and the City
Hall give Beaumont significant access to this area as a development project hub.
2. Commercial frontage along 6th St at California Ave
includes un-leased retail space, a closed service
station, and some small vacant parcels. A cleaning
business occupies the west end of this row and
is well utilized. Along California Ave is a business
establishment understood to be changing use in the
near term and the City's fleet maintenance facility.
The amount of vacant commercial at this highly visible
corner makes it a long term opportunity for new
development.
3. The vacant house lots at 8th St facing Beaumont and
Euclid Ave together offer a residential and commercial
frontage opportunity. The site is mostly vacant with
one un-leased home. The planning team understands
these lots may be for sale and there is interest from
developers.
4. The Civic Center includes City Hall, the existing Police Headquarters, several storage and office buildings,
and a large park -and -ride lot shared with the Police.
The site bounded here includes a City -owned house lot
to the north used for storage. The entire opportunity
site is City controlled and offers a rare opportunity for significant new public and private space.
5. These three opportunity sites constitute a vacant land use condition typically including three to five house
lots that may be merged to provide a compact single
family project greater in quantity than the current
number of parcels - sometimes referred to as a "six
pack" or "eight pack."
6. These sites are identified in the Downtown Area Plan for active ground floor frontage facing 6th St, and this Revitalization Plan encourages zoning reform and lot
merging which may allow mixed -use with housing over
retail as infill along this corridor.

2.5 DEVELOPMENT
FORECAST
This development forecast provides
a data -driven and field -researched
growth scenario to be compared to
available opportunity sites. This helps
project planners right -size the future
anticipated for Downtown Beaumont to
better prepare for its revitalization.
The development forecast provides an applicable best -
case scenario for business growth and related building
construction that is also demographically supportable
and economically viable. This forecast of long term total development is provided for housing, restaurants and
retail. These long term measures are built up in phases:
near -term (5 to 10 years), mid-term (10 to 15 years), and long-term (beyond 15 years and as far as 25 years).
The local business conditions and regional competitive
economic context are provided in full detail in the
"Downtown Beaumont Economic Revitalization
Action Plan," this project's supporting real estate
and development forecast report - and copied as an
appendix to this Revitalization Plan. Overall, the following forecast approach and conclusions, as well as the
stakeholder interview summary, are abridgments of the
full text of that supporting document.
RESTAURANT DEVELOPMENT
FORECAST APPROACH
A detailed analysis of near -term to long-term demand
for restaurant development was performed to establish
a phased restaurant development forecast, including
number of businesses and expected most -viable typical
gross square footages. The forecast process included
a careful balancing of six factors, each from different research sources, to support a realistic and likely
scenario:
Housing Rate: Rate of past and future Citywide
housing permits, including demographic aspects
Capture Rate: Share of Citywide visitation and
spending captured by the Downtown study area
Business Footprint: Size of average restaurant type
for which demand will be greatest
Potential Renovations: Potential for a probable
number of Downtown restaurant locations to
renovate and absorb new business arrivals in
Downtown
• General Plan: Volume of total Citywide and sphere -of - influence total housing
Regional Access: Increased visitation rate that
presumes market capture from regional travel along
the I-10 freeway
• Sales per Square Foot: Supportable sales per square
foot relative to total disposable income projected
from census trends for households forecast to arrive
in the market area.
Potential renovations may account for restaurant
growth through the continuation of many existing dining establishments. This plan presumes current businesses
rated 4 and above on Yelp reviews as likely to continue as dining space supply, totaling 13,790 square feet.
A detailed discussion of considerations and data inputs for each of these six factors is provided in the "Downtown Beaumont Economic Revitalization Action Plan," this
project's real estate and development forecast report.
RESTAURANT DEVELOPMENT
FORECAST CONCLUSIONS
Near -Term (5 to 10 years):
Depending upon construction timing, Downtown
Beaumont may theoretically support at least a dozen
dining outlets —re-creating a new image of itself as a
worthy destination for residents —and possibly starting to draw some visitors traveling along Interstate 10 as well.
Mid -Term (10-15 years):
When the City reaches a development level concomitant
with current rates of housing growth, total demand for
Downtown dining will be 40,343 square feet. When the
City reaches its build -out figure of 31,021 households based on housing growth rates to fulfill the General Plan expectations, without capturing customers from the
larger sphere -of -influence and I-10 freeway travelers, demand for Downtown dining will be 55,349 square feet.
21 DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT I REVITALIZATION PLAN
Long -Term (15-25 years):
When the City reaches its build -out figure of 31,021
households, along with a sphere -of -influence that
includes 9,828 additional households, a total dining
demand in Downtown may reach 76,112 square feet,
inclusive of additional 10% support from Freeway 10
travelers and other regional (non -Beaumont) customers.
At an average size of 3,460 square feet, this demand
translates into about 20 to 22 food service outlets,
representing a strong pedestrian oriented variety of
drinking, dining, and take -away food service outlets.
RETAIL DEVELOPMENT
FORECAST APPROACH
A detailed analysis of near -term to long-term demand
for retail development was performed to establish a
phased retail development forecast, including number
of businesses and expected most -viable typical gross
square footages. Like the methodology used for dining,
the economic analysis compared the demand for
Downtown retail with the supply of space that exists.
Unlike restaurants, that require newly -constructed,
high -ceiling new buildings for contemporary operators
in the Downtown core, Beaumont already has a high
quantity of small shop retail space in Downtown that can be upgraded and/or renovated. While many small shops
exist in the Downtown area, they have not thrived due to a lack of adequate pedestrian traffic that could be drawn by quality dining. As the area becomes more visited, and as the dining destinations become more popular, existing space retailers should experience increased customer
traffic and sales. Some new stores may also be added
through development of mixed -use building types as the area matures.
There is a total of 62,606 square footage of small shop space in Downtown Beaumont —a large figure that may be
restored, revitalized, and/or renovated for existing and new stores.
A detailed discussion of considerations and data inputs, including the preponderance of existing retail space
is provided in the "Downtown Beaumont Economic
Revitalization Action Plan" this project's real estate and development forecast report.
RETAIL DEVELOPMENT
FORECAST CONCLUSIONS
Near -Term (5 to 10 years):
There is no net new retail space demand for newly
constructed retail space for over ten years, nor is there any net new supportable space at City build -out. The
rationale for this is that there is currently 62,606 square feet of small shop retail space that already exists in
Downtown.
Mid -Term (10-15 years):
Downtown retail demand is projected to be about 44,493
square feet in ten years. Pedestrian visitation should
be boosted by the addition of restaurants, thereby
benefiting customer awareness of Downtown retail
spaces, spurring new investment, store revitalization,
and upgrading of operations in future years.
Long -Term (15-25 years):
Upon the City's General Plan build -out and capturing
growth across the sphere -of -influence, there may be
demand for a total 50,999 square feet of retail — this
is still below the amount of space that already exists of 62,606 square feet.
This does not entirely preclude the ability to add a
few newly -constructed retail spaces in the mid-term
or long-term timeframe. Creative retail environments
and mixed -use formats that are unique, contemporary,
and compatible with a newly -created dining district will benefit from synergy with new housing and restaurants
at once. The City's first -priority should be restoring the sales health and vitality of existing retail spaces alongside near -term dining growth.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
FORECAST APPROACH
A detailed forecast of housing growth anticipated as
economically viable and research supportable was
not performed for the Downtown Study area. That
is because the conclusions of housing development
research found unfettered demand for affordable
middle -income low density housing for the foreseeable
future. Land availability being the only constraint, a
housing growth capacity scenario is provided with this
Revitalization Plan in the Development chapter based
on 1.) Appropriate residential opportunity sites, and 2.) Housing development of two building types.
22 A detailed summation of near -term to long-term growth in housing based on permit data for in -City and City
sphere -of -influence geographic areas was, however,
performed. Data from the US Census was intersected
with this to understand the density, size, demographic, and economic profile of household growth since the year 2000. This is provided in the "Downtown Beaumont
Economic Revitalization Action Plan," this project's real estate and development forecast report.
The City of Beaumont's most prominent strength is its
historical and future growth of "affordable," attractive single -family -detached homes in nearby master -planned communities. With square footages ranging from 1,342
to 3,247 square feet for three -to -seven -bedroom homes, Beaumont's new communities provide sizable homes at
well below the average cost of a single -family -detached home in California (resale and new).
As of the 2000 Census, the City of Beaumont contained
only 4,738 households over a low -density geographic
area. Ten years later (2010), the City's household
figure had more than doubled to 11,910 households.
By 2021, the estimated number of households was
15,610, a significant 229% increase in 21 years (an
average increase of 5.8% per year). An estimated 17,610 occupied households were added to Beaumont in mid-
year 2023, based on updated demographics and recently
reported housing permits.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
FORECAST CONCLUSIONS
Estimated projections of future year housing growth
reveal that Beaumont will reach about 20,110 occupied
households in five years (2028); 22,610 occupied
households in ten years (2033); and 31,021 households
at build -out (based on General Plan figures). The
immediate "sphere -of -influence" neighborhoods will add another 9,828 households, per the General Plan figures, at build -out, for a total of 40,849 households.
Near -term demand will continue for moderately priced
single-family residential products on the low end of
the "missing middle," or less common middle density
housing types, with densities at 8 to 12 units to the acre.
Higher densities of the "missing middle" ranging from
12 to 25 units to the acre are suitable for parcels near or adjacent to Downtown commercial corridors along
Beaumont Ave and 6th St as developers have already
inquired about building types associated with that range of intensity. Mixed -use development normally a part of thriving Downtowns may require residential densities of 25 units to the acre or greater - the upper end of the
"missing middle".
In order to boost interest in new commercial, restaurant, and retail businesses along Beaumont Avenue and
6th Street, as well as the Grace Avenue Gateway
area, residential development of all kinds should be
encouraged in the Downtown area.
LONG-TERM DEMAND FORECAST
+ DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY
The table at right summarizes the long-term forecast
for demographically supportable and economically
viable commercial development as well as the proposed
conceptual development prepared for Opportunity Sites
for this Revitalization Plan.
Housing demand is entirely based on the amount of land
available to capture otherwise Citywide and sphere -of - influence growth. Therefore, housing is described for
Downtown as a capacity study, rather than a demand
forecast.
Supply of space currently in use as retail exceeds
demand in the mid-term and long-term. As a result,
much of that space is anticipated to be re -purposed
as future restaurants, cafes, bars, or other food/
beverage sales. Anticipating that, the Revitalization Plan conceptual new dining space is intentionally below the
total supportable amount - leaving some demand to be
absorbed by conversions of existing commercial spaces.
In all, the Revitalization Plan concepts align with a long range picture of supportable and economically viable
commercial and housing growth. Plan implementation
strategies to enable those concepts will have a sound
basis in this economic forecast.

INTERVIEWS
The Revitalization Plan project
real estate and economics team
conducted 14 interviews of
Downtown businesses owners,
property owners, and brokers, based
on a list provided by City Staff.
This is a one-on-one listening approach intended to
supplement the two City -run public workshops. The
interviewees were well -engaged, highly interested
participants in the process. Selected findings include:
TRAFFIC SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
Slow Traffic Down: All interviewees recognized
the need to slow traffic down on 6th Street and
Beaumont Avenue in order to effectively revitalize
Downtown Beaumont.
• Roundabouts: Interviewees responded favorably to
the suggestion of using roundabouts to slow traffic
and embraced the idea of the City installing them. No
interviewee spoke negatively about the idea.
PUBLIC REALM SUGGESTIONS
• More cross -walks to improve the safety of streets for pedestrians;
• Archway signage announcing Downtown like the one
in Uptown Yucaipa;
• Creation of "trail pathways" or walking routes that are lit for pedestrians;
Way -finding signage indicating parking areas;
Making alleys more attractive and useful for outdoor
dining;
Add more lighting to Downtown walkways, alleys and
crosswalks to improve evening perception of safety;
Add more signs announcing the speed limit along 6th
Street.
"ECONOMIC TOOL" SUGGESTIONS
Increasing the City's "business friendly" way of working with new businesses, reducing the "paper bureaucracy"
that businesses face;
Revise Downtown zoning to allow small (tiny) workforce/ studio apartments to be built for young, Beaumont
singles on top of commercial/restaurant buildings;
Allow houses to be converted to commercial uses;
Revise Downtown zoning to allow the construction of
small single family detached homes (for rent or own)
around the 5th Street area;
Establish improved communication between the City
Economic Development Department and the Fire
Marshal;
• Create a 5 -year to 10 -year implementation plan
that is firm and "fail-safe" that would continue to be
effective even if future City Councils change.
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT
USE SUGGESTIONS
•
Add/expand high -quality dining, targeting
independent successful restaurants;
• Encourage Downtown existing restaurants (in future
years) that wish to expand their buildings and/or
outdoor dining to do so;
• Target a food user for the former "Beaumont Dry
Cleaners" building in the Grace Avenue Gateway
area, such as a coffee/bakery outlet;
• Bring back the Ramona's food truck for nearby
workers, such as those working at PSI;
• Target a sandwich outlet/quick food cafe near PSI for workers;
• Add a craft brewery or beer tasting room, similar to
the one in Yucaipa;
• Encourage restaurants to enhance and add outdoor
dining areas;
• Add a wine bar with food; a bratwurst quick food
outlet with outdoor dining; a gastro pub; and a baked
potato casual dining outlet;
25 DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT I REVITALIZATION PLAN
Target an independent burger restaurant like Slaters
50-50 in Orange County;
Build small lot single family detached rentals,
particular in the Downtown area near 5th Street; and
Build small workforce/studio apartments for young
people on second floor as part of commercial/
restaurant mixed -use projects with ground floor
commercial or restaurant.
OTHER DOWNTOWN SUGGESTIONS:
• Consider buying small vacant parcels to consolidate
for new development; and
Consider national retailers for sites as interim uses
(10 to 20 years) until sites with auto/tire uses are
viable to be converted to dining and retail operations.
26 3.1 COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
The revitalization of Downtown will
be led by its own entrepreneurs,
government leaders, property owners,
and residents. This plan is crafted
at their direction to address their
concerns, aspirations, and preferences.
PROJECT OUTREACH APPROACH
The approach to outreach was phased and iterative. It
began as an information session as part of the monthly
business leader's happy hour, which included notice of
the City sponsored workshops to come. After that, a first round of workshops was performed to confirm General
Plan proposals and serve as a listening session. A second round of workshops followed that confirm Revitalization Plan proposals and to receive final feedback. All events were open to the public with public notice on the City's website, social media pages, and livestreams for council and commission presentations.
WORKSHOP 1 - LISTENING
SESSION + PLAN ALTERNATIVES
May 18, 2023
This event, held at City Hall, was an information gathering session attended by 22 Downtown stakeholders in
addition to City leaders. Facts about General Plan "on -the - books" proposals, mobility and transportation safety, and
development opportunities and constraints were shown
on six large print boards and a slide presentation. Votes were cast for broad topical directions, specific priorities, and among district development alternatives, and mobility alternatives.

PLANNING COMMISSION
June 14, 2023
The Economic Development Committee and Planning
Commission hold joint sessions on a regular basis and
include back-to-back sessions consisting of a presentation and discussion portion. The results of Workshop 1 Listening 28 Session + Plan Alternatives votes were added to the content presented on May 18th. The following discussion was
supportive of findings and project direction with comments emphasizing incorporation of current plans for Civic Cente redevelopment and memorial. Concurrence was shared
among planning commissioners about the proposed
transformation of 6th Street as a means to improve safety and spur business investment.
WORKSHOP 2 - CONFIRMING

October 24, 2023
This event was held at Senorial Mexican Restaurant on E 6th St and was aligned with the monthly business leaders' happy hour. The event was well -attended and succeeded in confirming that streetscape concept details, roundabouts, and development types are acceptable to community
stakeholders. The format of the event was based on a design proposal presentation followed by a 30 -minute discussion.
Discussion topics included various concerns, such as
cleanup and repaving of alleys, safety, and security.

changes before implementation was highlighted. Topics
addressed included development code and zone changes,
redevelopment incentives, further traffic analysis, and the importance of regional transportation projects to bypass and alleviate Downtown traffic constraints.
CITY COUNCIL REVIEW +
ADOPTION PRESENTATIONS
The final steps in the community engagement process include final public input through City Council sessions. The first Council session is an opportunity to review the print -ready draft Revitalization Plan and discuss any remaining unresolved implementation proposals. Final edits to the document and implementation commitments are incorporated into the Final Revitalization Plan report.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
Some key community engagement points recommended as a
follow-up to this planning process include:
1. Complete a community survey to measure and solicit
further support for the 6th St reconfiguration and
roundabout proposals. Successful active transportation
planning grant applicants will need this information
and it is important when collaborating with regional
transportation agency boards.
2. Prepare a brochure of Downtown redevelopment
opportunities from an economic development
perspective and promote this material along with City
branding to retail trade and real estate investment
organizations as well as individual prospective Downtown entrepreneurs and investors.
3. Continue promotion of the Revitalization Plan through the monthly business leadership happy hour events.

3.2 CHOOSING THE DEGREE OF CHANGE
A creative approach to documenting community sentiment for level of change desired was presented as a sliding scale covering three topics: streets transformation, alley and parking transformation, and building transformation. The results showed a desire for significant changes to both major streets and pedestrian use of alleys, but more moderate types of building development.

30 3.3 FOCUSING THE
PUBLIC REALM
The most consequential decision
for the Downtown community was
which public spaces and right-of-
way to commit to use as a part-
time pedestrian event space.
ALTERNATIVES APPROACH
Diagrammatic alternatives suggested the emphasis of
event use could be on either sidestreets and plazas,
Beaumont Ave, or 6th St. Each describes an increasing
level of commitment to a more pedestrian -centric
Downtown. Participants were given two votes each, and
were encouraged to think about the relationship between an approach to streets and its appropriate development types.
UPGRADING: IMPROVE POCKETS,
STREETSCAPE + ALLEYS
Wider tree -lined sidewalks with safe crossings are
long overdue for 6th St and Beaumont Ave, but event
closures off of the "Main Street" and smaller new
projects are right for revitalizing Downtown.

VOTING RESULTS DISCUSSION
Participants did not consistently place one -vote each for their development or public realm choice. Some voters may have applied three votes, others one. The following percentages reflect the number of votes out of 44 possible. Overall, there was significant support for major changes to 6th St as part of a "bold move" to prepare Downtown Beaumont as a visitor - attuned and pedestrian -oriented environment. With that there was balanced support for both mixed -use development as well as middle density housing and retail infill. No support was expressed for extensive dining patios with preferences leaning more toward large collective spaces supporting large events. Street beautification where storefronts face the public realm was also supported.

32 3.4 PRIORITIZING
THE CHALLENGES
A broad list of topics and priorities
was included in Workshop 1,
which allowed the community to
express their support for a range of
revitalization details.
PRIORITIES APPROACH + RESULTS
Each participant was allowed to place three votes of
support on any combination of topics (including several on one topic). Participants were also allowed to place
one down -vote on topics to de-emphasize or strategies
to avoid. The prevailing emphasis of Downtown's
stakeholders was around the need for shade over off-
street and on -street public realm. Additional emphasis was placed on enhancing Downtown nightlife and
restaurant options. Significant support was also shown
for streets as close -able venues for monthly events. Key strategies that were down -voted included permanent
closure of side street access to 6th St and maintaining a rural character in Downtown.
Overall, the trend is clear that the community desires
a safe, walkable public realm that is shady, well
landscaped, and activated by regular events surrounded
by family friendly dining as well as nightlife options.

key corridor. One of those options
was the current Downtown Area Plan

All roadway reconfiguration options presented offered
some form of "road diet" which arranged 6th St into two travel lanes. The major difference between those options was the placement of on -street public parking and the
type of bicycle infrastructure. Limited support was given for all options which placed a left -turn -lane in the middle of 6th, and the prevailing number of voters preferred the media -parking concept already promised in the Downtown Area Plan. The least support was shown for options which emphasized bicycle infrastructure.

4.1 SUMMARY +
OBJECTIVES
The Development portion of this
Revitalization Plan provides a
detailed depiction of the highest and
best land uses that are economically
viable on lands most likely to be
redeveloped over the next 20 years.
The overall framework for these uses
organizes potential projects into
hubs, corridors, and individual infill
concept proposals. These proposals
enable community planning and
economic development activity that
will move Downtown Beaumont
forward.
OVERVIEW: REVITALIZATION
THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
The overall Development Framework sets growth
expectations for Downtown with projects that are
economically viable and anticipated as in -demand by
developers. They are right -sized for those lands that may be available for redevelopment within the timeframe
of this plan. Most importantly, concepts proposed will
support the long term vision set forth in the Downtown
Area Plan, Chapter 11 of Beaumont's general plan.
These concepts are organized into categories based on
development type, location, and role for City involvement.
HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER
This chapter organizes strategically and economically
important projects and anticipated developments to
maximize their benefit to a Downtown's revitalization,
and scales them to fit Downtown's long term economic
forecast:
• Explain which land uses and development types
lead to the highest and best uses on all potential
Opportunity Sites for each area of Downtown.
• Anticipate the forecast potential square footage for
development for each area of Downtown, and see a
relationship to the depicted development.
• Understand recommended changes to development
code and zoning to allow growth in Downtown.
• Visualize the long-term future physical build -out of Downtown in terms of building massing, density, and
transformation in character.
• Prepare to implement capital projects or assist
developers through projects and initiatives to spur
developments that achieve desired growth.
38 4.2 DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
The development strategy advanced in this Revitalization Plan is communicated in this framework concept, and focuses redevelopment efforts clustered around hubs of activity, where ground floor retail, small restaurants, and public realm improvements come together - all within walking distance from new housing.
The following are four organizational categories that describe the distribution of projects and programs that advance all Downtown development and growth.
REVITALIZATION HUBS
Revitalization hubs are the most consequential projects to Downtown transformation and integrate public realm
improvements, landscape, and creative development types that work to provide urban synergy. Located at gateways, or in the heart of Downtown, they tend to be co -located with City owned assets and civic facilities. These projects require the most intervention and are deemed "City Accelerated" projects.
6TH STREET ACTIVE CORRIDOR
Infill proposed conceptual projects along 6th Street most accurately fulfill the development vision set forth in the Downtown Area Plan; they provide ground floor active frontage along Downtown's "main street" and include both housing and commercial opportunities within walking distance of each other. These are long-term projects that also require City intervention that includes lot merging, streamline approvals, public parking supply solutions.
DOWNTOWN WALKABLE HOUSING
The walkable housing project concepts most closely suit immediate development demand amid a regional housing
shortage. Compact walkable housing will support the
economic vitality of retail and restaurants along Downtown's main corridors. These project opportunities typically require lot merging and may require City assistance to connect
developers to those potential sites. They are distributed one block away from major corridors and are distributed throughout the residential neighborhoods.
DOWNTOWN
DEVELOPMENT TYPES
Land use and development intensity associated with the
vision for each of Hubs, Corridors, and Housing infill projects is understood through a development typology, which is
depicted in categories that each embody a limited range of development types. All of these types are common in
recent regional growth but are new to Downtown Beaumont.
Together, they embody an economically viable land use
direction that will fulfill the Downtown Area Plan vision.

40 4.3 CITY ACCELERATED
REVITALIZATION HUBS
The Revitalization Hubs offer
the most creative and unique
environments that will attract
visitors to a pedestrian -friendly
Downtown. They require an
ongoing commitment by the
City's departments to achieve and
maintain as character -defining
places for Downtown Beaumont.
REVITALIZATION HUBS STRATEGY
The revitalization hubs strategy is predicated on City ownership, or potential ownership, of significant portions of the developable tracts. Close and continual coordination with the City's real estate consultant, City Manager, and economic development team will lead to partnerships in operation, ground leasing, and sale of these sites. The City must maintain high -quality public realm pedestrian plazas, close -able streets, and promenades that are park -like, in order to uphold the character of these marquee settings. These projects are not anticipated to be first to finish, but should be among the first to start in terms of ministerial and organizational efforts to deliver them in the mid-term timespan of this plan horizon.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
AT GRACE AVENUE
Grace Avenue is a one block length access road that once connected to 6th Street and was stub -ended as a cul-de-sac in 2013. Since then, a Laundromat has vacated the art-moderne auto shop at the corner of 6th and California, and the School District has vacated the historic 1913 City Hall. Several other historic structures surround the site, including a re -purposed 1940's hotel north across 6th Street. Grace Ave continues to be used as parking space for PSI, an adjacent industrial employer, and as access to a local favorite Mexican restaurant.
The City has proposed removing non -historic add-ons currently part of the historic City Hall, and the Mexican restaurant has expressed interest in re -purposing some of their adjacent surface lot for outdoor dining. Currently, Grace Ave serves only as parking lot access and will not see future thru-traffic.
EXISTING CONDITIONS AT
THE CIVIC CENTER
The Civic Center includes City Hall, which occupies the historic Beaumont High School, a rear annex serving as storage, and with auxiliary office and storage structures between. Across Orange Avenue, the City Police headquarters remains, where its floor storage needs have grown and now occupy a recently fenced - off portion of a park -n -ride public lot which also serves City Hall.
There is an unused storage area on a paved house lot immediately north of the City Hall property.
Major changes have been studied for feasibility throughout the campus across both blocks. Alternative sites outside Downtown are currently being evaluated for a future Police HQ. The City has performed a capacity study of the storage annex and deemed it sufficient to accommodate an expanded municipal workforce - which will be supported by a consolidation of public works staff to an off -site proposed consolidated corporation yard.
EXISTING CONDITIONS AT
8TH AND BEAUMONT AVE
The three lot commercial frontage at Beaumont Ave and 8th, as well as the three residential lots facing Euclid, all remain vacant or unoccupied. One house remains on one house -lot and was formerly operated as a rental property. A crucial asset on these parcels are the large trees along Beaumont Ave in this neighborhood which afford a shaded landscape setting for an outdoor dining use. The City does not own these parcels but has discussed enabling development by acquiring, merging, and selling off to a selected developer - and one developer has already approached the City with interest in them while this plan was authored.
DESIRED DOWNTOWN SYNERGY
The two Revitalization Hubs concepts along 6th Street promise a definitive experience with the City for their outdoor settings, the creative and independent retail types fronting them, and their proximity to locations important to Downtown's 20th century history. Residents consistently demanded safe, walkable, family oriented settings with quality independent dining that includes outdoor setting. These projects are proposed to deliver on that outreach request.
Given the opportunity to pedestrianize the public realm on Grace Ave, Orange Ave, the Civic Center plaza, these locations are ideal for City programmed entertainment, small street fair events, public art, and high quality landscaped settings with pedestrian lighting, signage, and street furnishing. As such, they are brand - defining opportunities that can promote the City with memorable experiences.
The development mix proposed for these sites include
independent dining, concession, or beverage opportunities that are in -demand from middle-class families relocating to Beaumont.
As walkable amenities within reach of housing anticipated as part of this Downtown Revitalization, they also foster synergy with other Downtown developments.

Furnishings + Landscape
Bollards are key to limit vehicular access during pedestrian event closures; traffic calming measures should be
employed to ensure drivers and pedestrians safely share this driveway type. Light and power should be available for booths and entertainment. Decorative standards with string lights or other pedestrian lights are key.
42 4.4 GRACE AVE
GATEWAY H U B
The Grace Avenue Gateway concept
offers a welcome mat for visitors and
residents seeking a safe, outdoor,
urban walkable setting. It is intended
to host small events, offer views of
6th St and surrounding mountains,
alongside historic buildings
charismatic of old Downtown.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
The historic City hall building will serve as the primary anchor for this project, ideally suited for one or two independent local or regional chain restaurants. The building grounds and front porch offer early phase dining space before more of this subdistrict is improved as public realm. The historic art -deco retail at the corner of 6th St and California Ave compliments the City hall reuse as a small vendor space for concessions such as ice cream, coffee, takeaway food. Its conversion will benefit from the proposed landscape shade pergola and parkway landscape buffer that protects a public patio area. The existing major anchor restaurant, Ramona's, will benefit from event and dining visitors on a pedestrianized Grace Ave.
PARKING STRATEGY
Formalized head -in parking on one side of Grace Avenue is suitable as a slow -speed pedestrian oriented parking facility and allows access to the Ramona's parking lot. The separate off-street parking between the old Laundromat and the historic City hall can be made more efficient if they are combined as a shared facility. Parallel space on 5th street provides ample supplemental parking. 10 1nromitmixmosai

44 4.5 CITY CENTER
COMMUNITY HUB
The City Center project has the
potential to serve as the central
community -oriented gathering place
for City events adjacent to a vibrant
retail dining strip serving residents,
visitors, and City employees.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
The most significant contribution this revitalization plan makes to the long term vision for Beaumont's Civic
Center is the proposal to re -purpose the public park -n - ride facility as a lease -to -sell commercial opportunity for three to six owner -occupied independent restaurants.
Modeled on a similar successful project in Lewisville,
Texas, these restaurants should serve as family oriented dining with outdoor seating and may be part of a more
holistic "creative retail" environment with integrated
landscape and walkable linkages.
PARKING STRATEGY
The parking strategy depends on the Police headquarters vacating their current site, where ample parking serving the retail portion of this site will fit. The alley behind proposed retail should also serve as parking. City Hall use of the lot replacing the former Police HQ site, as well as improved lots on the west edge of the Civic Center
(accessed via Magnolia) should be adequate for Civic
Center daily demand. Additional public or City employee parking may be found in the lot north of 7th St. In the long term, a single parking deck above the Orange
Ave lot may be needed to support a busier and vibrant
Downtown.

1. Complete the process of identifying lands and programming for a new off -site Police Headquarters.
2. Coordinate with the City real estate consultant and City Manager to draw draft proforma and agreements in
preparation for the retail conversion of the City -owned lot.
3. Prepare a pricing package to include conceptual or
schematic design for a holistic Civic Center renovation project to include the Town Square plaza design, re -purposed Annex, and community center conversion for City Hall.
4. Begin an outreach campaign to seek restaurant operators, potentially through a retail property manager. Possibly reach out to Lewisville, Texas to review and understand their documented experience.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
The following actions are major projects and initiatives that will advance this project.
5. Support the Police HQ move and build a new City -owned park -n -ride lot in its place, along with alley improvements.
Then facilitate a retail project on the site of the original park - n -ride facility.
6. Complete the phased implementation of the longterm
vision for Civic Center, including the plaza, community center conversion, new City Hall at the Annex, and surrounding access and parking improvements.

46 4.6 "THE ARBORS"
LOCAL DINING HUB
This site is called the "Arbors" in
this plan document to celebrate
the potential for a unique dining
locale under the shade of large on -
site trees. This project is suitable
as a quiet corner with quality food
and has enormous potential as a
walkable weekly destination for
surrounding residents.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
This project site consists of two portions: one half
faces Beaumont Ave as a commercial opportunity, and
one faces Euclid Ave as a residential opportunity. The
commercial opportunity is a 4000 to 6000 square foot
owner -occupied independent restaurant that features an outdoor dining setting integral to its brand and customer experience. The site is also ideal for a neighborhood
oriented convenience retail/market. This new
construction project should integrate existing site trees to take advantage of them. The residential portion of the project is addressed in the Walkable Housing section at the end of this chapter.
PARKING STRATEGY
The restaurant portion of this project should be
sufficiently self -parked on -site. Additionally, head -in parking will be needed on the alley in order to meet
peak demand. The residential portion is expected to be
garage parked.

48 4.7 6TH ST ACTIVE
CORRIDOR INFILL
Mixed -use development on
6th St is an integral part of the
Downtown Area Plan Vision and
supports General Plan land use
policy. Fulfilling that will transform
Downtown as a livable and
economically vibrant center.
ACTIVE CORRIDOR INFILL STRATEGY
The active corridor infill strategy is a development
approach that proposes small low-rise mixed -use
projects as economically viable in the mid-term for
Downtown. Most of these projects, especially those
in locations most advantageous to Downtown's overall
success, require lot merging once lands become vacant
or unused. These projects should be developer led, but
with City -led streamlined permitting and improvements
supporting utilities, access, parking, and public realm.
Most of these projects will also require a district
parking approach, where some retail visitors park
once - requiring a sophisticated approach to parking
requirements in the future.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ON
6TH AT CALIFORNIA AVE
The commercial frontage of 6th St from California Ave to Edgar Ave includes a wide variety of buildings of various age and condition. Most properties are unoccupied, for
sale, or in a state of underutilization - such as storage with occasional economic activity. One structure at 141 E 6th Street may be of some historic architectural value.
Delta Restoration Services is a major employer at 580
California Ave. Occupying a well maintained property. Any development here will require them to find an alternative location or be integrated into the project; therefore, this opportunity is mid or long term.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ON
6TH AT MAGNOLIA AVE
Situated across the street from City Hall, the mixed -use opportunity at Magnolia has been acquired and cleared
at the time of this Revitalization Plan. As is, it represents the smallest mixed -use opportunity, but most near term in the Downtown core mixed -use area due to availability.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ON
6TH AT MAPLE AVE
The project parcel on 6th at Maple Ave is deeper than
the other two identified in this plan and is only partially developed. It includes an active flower shop and a row
of older small or studio style apartments at the back of the parcel. Any portion of the commercial frontage of
vacant areas can be available in the near term. Existing residents mean the entire site constitutes a mid-term or long-term opportunity.
DESIRED DOWNTOWN SYNERGY
Mixed -use development provides a "captive audience"
of residents that can support additional active retail
frontage on the ground floor and provides an internal
synergy for a vibrant and resilient Downtown. Residential unit types discussed by some land owners include studio or very small one -bedroom apartments that may support
business owner families on -site. This live work condition will add a widening array of housing types for Downtown Beaumont.
The synergy between a reconfigured 6th St roadway
and surrounding mixed -use development is at the
heart of the Vision set forth in the Downtown Area
Plan. Small restaurants, bars/taprooms, coffee shops,
and convenience markets (bodegas) will benefit from
streetside seating and tables between the tree wells of a widened sidewalk. A 6th Street reconfigured for regular fairs and events will support and connect with facing
businesses.
The median shared parking proposed for 6th Street as
well as surrounding small lot public parking facilities will collectively support a park -once district in this stretch of core Downtown Beaumont.

• Heights: 2 - 3 levels (24' to 38')
Land Use Descriptions
Mixed -use building with active ground floor retail or food + beverage uses, upper level as residential or office
Activities and Design Description
This is a traditional "mixed -use" development type, and may employ corridor or walk up access (live -work) to residential quarters above. Unit types may be stacked multi -room
flats, two -level apartments, or stacked studios. All resident parking should be provided on -site; and amenity space
above parking is encouraged.
MINI MIXED -USE

• Gross Square Feet: 10K to 30K
• Density / FAR: 0.5 to 1.25
• Heights: 2 - 3 levels (24' to 38')
Land Use Descriptions
Mixed -use building with active ground floor retail or food + beverage uses, upper level as residential or office
Activities and Design Description
This is a smaller version of the common traditional "mixed - use" development type and typically features as little as one business on the ground floor. Walk up access to units above is more common and may be externalized to save
corridor space. This type is increasingly common in small US communities. All resident parking should be on -site.
KEY PUBLIC REALM INTRODUCED
STREETFRONT DINING / ACTIVE USE
Typical Development Parameters
• Widths: 9' to 12' (6' walkway + 3' table/chairs)
• Materials: Concrete; Material Change Encouraged
• Heights: 12' to 14' (Pedestrian Lighting); 8' Clear
Operational and Design Description
Streetfront dining may either be within a setback area
behind the right-of-way sidewalk or may employ a use
permit to locate tables/chairs in a hardscape parkway
space between curb and sidewalk. Furnishings are
typically movable and removed/secured at night.
Furnishings + Landscape
"Bistro" tables and chairs, group tables and bench seating; umbrella and street tree shade; Parklets in parking spaces augment the above active spaces.
50 4.8 MIXED -USE AT 6TH
ST + CALIFORNIA AVE
Mixed -Use development on the
gateway roundabout at California
Ave will create one of the most
significant urban moments for
Downtown; and in conjunction with
the Grace Ave Gateway project will
build this area into an economically
complex and vibrant neighborhood.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
The concept proposed includes a single building
including a ground floor retail space for two tenants
and a double loaded corridor flanked by studio or one - bedroom units above. Resident access is suggested
at the west end facing California Ave with a second
egress accessible to residents on Edgar. The concept
also suggests a breezeway between retail tenants for
increased outdoor seating; streetside active uses will
benefit from the additional sidewalk space created at
the corner of the proposed roundabout.
PARKING STRATEGY
The building proposed along this stretch of 6th St would occupy the width of the block with a double loaded aisle of parking in the rear. The site would be dependent on
additional head -in short term parking along Edgar Ave
if retail is to have enough property -adjacent parking; further, 5 parallel on street parking spaces along 6th St and nearby vacant residential lot conversion for public parking would be needed to meet the total parking
demand for this project as shown.

INITIAL ACTIONS
The following initial actions are first steps the City can take to instigate this project.
1. Initial actions should focus on the design and
capital improvement planning for the 6th Street
Reconfiguration as well as its gateway roundabout
component. This is because the roundabout may
impact the northwest site corner. Also important is the inclusion of sidewalk space for active outdoor use by
businesses near the approach to the roundabout.
2. Begin outreach to all property and business owners
and communicate the benefits of this project to
Downtown, the opportunity it presents them, and the
expected mid to long range timing.
3. Prepare a capital improvement design for alley cleanup and head -in parking along Edgar Ave in advance of this development.
4. Begin outreach to the development community through
the Economic Development department, emphasizing
the community anchor location of this parcel frontage.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
The following actions are major projects and initiatives that will advance this project.
5. Implement the 6th Street Reconfiguration and gateway roundabout project.
6. This project should be developer led, but the City can assist potential land acquisition and preparation efforts by streamlining the lot merging process.
7. Coordinate directly with existing on -site employers to establish their project involvement or streamline
changes in their business relocation.

52 4.9 MIXED -USE AT 6TH
ST + MAGNOLIA AVE
A small infill project which
maximizes limited available land for
a well -situated project across from
the Civic Center will offer an out-
sized impact on community activity
level and perception — especially if
it includes housing above retail.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
The project development type shown for this concept is
a mini -mixed -use building which would only have room
for one tenant and stairwell access to a single or double loaded residential corridor above. Projects of this
size may also support a limited number of residential
apartment types - sometimes one or two loft style units over retail.
PARKING STRATEGY
Parking access may need to pass under residential units facing Magnolia Ave, with one or two spaces tucked
under the rear of the building. Additional public parking will likely be needed from the adjacent undeveloped
house -lot on the same alley. Some use of on -street
parking would occur for business patrons, but it is not estimated as necessary.

INITIAL ACTIONS
The following initial actions are first steps the City can take to instigate this project.
1. Identify and connect with the existing land owner who has acquired and cleared the residential and business
parcels that make up this project site.
2. Pedestrian crossing safety measures may
be implementable ahead of the full 6th St
Reconfiguration Project; this should be considered
to benefit this development and advance pedestrian
safety in connection with the City -owned park -n -ride lot to the north.
3. Lot merging approvals can be accelerated with this
parcel as a single owner is believed to have acquired
both parcels.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
The following actions are major projects and initiatives that will advance this project.
4. Implement the 6th St Reconfiguration and gateway
roundabout project.
5. This project should be developer led, but the City
can assist potential land acquisition and preparation
efforts by ensuring that alley and public parking
improvements behind the commercial frontage are
completed in conjunction with this project.

ST + MAPLE AVE
Infill mixed -use at 6th and Maple
may be a nearer term opportunity
that relies less on outside future
public realm improvements such
as the 6th St Reconfiguration or
nearby public parking.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
This proposed development concept uses the full depth
of the parcel at E 6th St and Maple Ave; it is on the lower end of a "small" mixed -use development type by building size. Building depth as shown allows for a single or
double loaded corridor of residential units of a studio or one -bedroom type. The ground floor most likely will accommodate a single retail food and beverage tenant
and an entry foyer for residents; two retail bays may fit if they are only supporting office services or convenience retail.
PARKING STRATEGY
Parking access may need to pass under residential units facing Maple Ave and a significant number of spaces
will need to tuck -under portions of this building concept.
Additional access can be provided from a north -south
alley east of the building. As shown, all parking demand can be met on -site.

INITIAL ACTIONS
The following initial actions are first steps the City can take to instigate this project.
1. Coordinate with the existing property owner; inform
them about standard and approved procedures for
engaging with on -site residents.
2. As this project requires no lot merging, and can be
self parked without the 6th St Reconfiguration or
outside public parking, ministerial approval may be
appropriate to streamline development permitting.
3. Coordinate with the adjacent multi -tenant office
complex land owners to explore share site
improvements that integrate the two sites and include
improvements along the access corridor straddling the
property line between them.
4. Coordinate with an on -call architect to assist the
potential developer in a compact site plan that may
include tuck -under and a portal under the residential
portion facing Maple Ave.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
The following actions are major projects and initiatives that will advance this project.
5. Implement the 6th St Reconfiguration and gateway
roundabout project.
6. Ensure site clearing and any resident displacement is in conformance with City and county regulations and
is in alignment with the updated General Plan Housing
Element.
7. Implement pedestrian crossing improvements ahead
of the overall 6th St Reconfiguration to ensure access
between potential residents and businesses north of
6th.

56 4.11 DOWNTOWN
WALKABLE HOUSING
Demand for dense small -lot
detached housing is strongest
among all potential new Downtown
land uses according to the Market
Study and Economic Action Plan
connected to this Revitalization Plan
WALKABLE HOUSING STRATEGY
These development types constitute the lower density end of a range of what urban planning terms the "missing middle." Such types are characteristically four or more dwelling units, with density ranging broadly from 16 DU/Ac to 40 DU/Ac.
This is often the result of smaller unit and home sizes set in a more compact building or site plan. Typologically, these may include smaller lots for single-family "starter homes," which often share green common areas or amenities. This can
also include multi-plex "lot line" housing subdivisions akin to row -housing as a stand-alone for -sale product. Beyond this, more traditional forms of courtyard housing, row -housing, and stacked flats commonly make up this category.
This development type typically uses a merged lot that
assembled several prior single-family house lots, which is then reparcelized to offer one "lot line" home on a small parcel that only extends enough for building separation with front of rear patios. Often, they are leased during the repayment on builders' loans through the span of a 10 - 15 year pro -forma, then sold (or leased to sell) to future homeowners. The units are also just as commonly sold
directly. They can be part of a homeowner association, and/ or include common area property management.
Downtown Beaumont offers several adjoining vacant parcels about one to two blocks away from the main commercial
corridors of 6th St and Beaumont Ave - an ideal walking distance.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ON
8TH AT EUCLID AVE
The potential housing parcels facing Euclid Ave are part of a proposed two-part development that includes a restaurant facing Beaumont Ave. The mostly vacant property includes three parcels and hosts several mature trees which enhance neighborhood quality. Any means to include any of them in a site plan should be attempted, however, analysis shows most of the site will need to be cleared for compact housing types. One home for rent sits on the northern parcel and was understood to be vacant at the time of this report.
The planning team also understands the current owner is interested in sale of all 6 parcels in the near term.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ON
5TH AT EDGAR AVE
The potential housing site at 5th and Edgar is mostly vacant, save for one cell phone tower that occupies its own sub -plot.
A compact site layout will require some use of the alley and a secondary entrance for parking access to some housing units.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ON
5TH AT MAPLE AVE
A large potential vacant residential site exists at 5th and Maple and is improved with one residential structure at its northeast corner - this is believed to be unoccupied at the time of this report. The parcel is flat graded and free of trees.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ON
5TH AT MICHIGAN AVE
A cluster of potential residential parcels exists on either side of Michigan Ave at E 5th St and may be developed as one or two projects. West of Michigan is an underutilized fenced lot, most recently used as material storage. Immediately south of this and facing E 5th St is a cleared lot which includes two trees at its edge. Eastward across Michigan Ave is another vacant parcel which abuts a well -maintained concrete
parking lot for small multi -tenant housing against the freeway embankment.
DESIRED DOWNTOWN SYNERGY
As the statewide housing crisis underlies demand for
compact small detached starter homes, Downtown has an
opportunity to attract new constituencies of young couples and families, remote workers, and commuters looking for access to urban amenities in a safe and walkable setting.
Attracting those seeking affordability and convenience in denser housing products simultaneously brings needed
customers to an enlivened Downtown.
Members of this homebuying category approach this
planning team at outreach events for other similar
Downtowns in the vicinity of Beaumont expressing
excitement for a chance to live with access to independent businesses and within the convenience of a walkable
distance to them.
Attracting and securing these infill housing projects will immediately enhance Downtown safety and improve
perception as an investible place for businesses looking for indicative housing growth. Moreover, it is the development type requiring the least intervention by the City to secure nearer -term "wins" in the revitalization of Downtown.

WALKABLE INFILL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TYPOLOGY
X-PLEX OR X -PACK / SF DETACHED
Typical Development Parameters
• Unit Net Square Feet: 1K to 2K
Density / FAR: 12 to 20 DU/Ac
Heights: 2 Levels (24')
Land Use Descriptions
Typically considered a single-family residential product as parcels are per -unit; rented for about 10 years then sold Activities and Design Description
These are often referred to as a "six pack" or "eight
pack" where three or four single-family lots combined
and reparcelized. Units are detached for -sale self -
parked, starter homes. Common areas are minimal as
site utilization is maximized. Accessed via a single drive aisle or loop with unit frontage on other side.
TOWNHOUSE /SIDE -BY -SIDE MULTIFAMILY BUNGALOW COURT / SEMI-DETACHED Typical Development Parameters
• Unit Net Square Feet: 600 to 2K
• Density / FAR: 12 to 24 DU/Ac
• Heights: 2 - 3 levels (24' to 36')
Land Use Descriptions
Multi -family residential product, usually in a walk-up or row -house format may include community facilities
Activities and Design Description
Most multi -tenant townhome walk ups are quadraplex with up to twelve units per building. Parking is accessed in the rear via an alley or common parking lot, and unit frontage is on the other side. Common open spaces are more
important to this type as green shaded corridors between buildings.
Typical Development Parameters
• Unit Net Square Feet: 500 to 900
• Density / FAR: 8 to 18 DU/Ac
• Heights: 1- 2 levels (10' to 24')
Land Use Descriptions
Usually multi -family, sometimes single family, residential product, and may include community facilities
Activities and Design Description
Modeled on historic California rental products originating in Southern California in the 1920's, they are increasingly recuperated as a new missing -middle housing solution.
Amenitization and quality of common areas affords
streetside visual appeal and is important to quality -of -life in these units. Increasingly, projects are owner occupied.
58 4.12 WALKABLE
HOUSING PROJECTS
Downtown Beaumont will benefit
from these compact housing
proposals with enhancement of
safety, perception, and economic
resilience that comes from people
living within walking distance of
Downtown businesses.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
These projects present small lot single family compact
homes on subdivided lots merged from existing
larger single family parcels. All project concepts may
alternatively be viable as attached row housing, semi-
detached homes with shared elements such as patios
and party walls, or smaller types such as duplexes and
stacked flat quadraplexes.
This revitalization plan generally advises that all these housing types be among the first new developments
in Downtown and that all measures to support their
development be taken alongside longer term projects at
the Civic Center and Grace Ave Gateway.
PARKING STRATEGY
Each is accessed from a shared drive aisle to self -parked units with ground floor garages. Primary dwelling entries are on the side or corner opposite the garaged access
along landscaped pathway common areas. This normally
affords two cars per unit.
INITIAL ACTIONS
The following initial actions are first steps the City can take to instigate this project.
1. Revise zoning and development code to allow higher
density detached housing, as well as attached high
density residential.
2. Revise residential zoning to allow new housing without requiring the incorporation of commercial ground uses
along 6th street if those housing types fulfill a vision for such compact "missing middle" housing types that
face 6th Street and Beaumont Ave to supplement the
infill projects already viable along 5th and Euclid.
3. Ensure an on -call architect or planning staff are ready to address streamlined permitting, possibly through
the issuance of ministerial approvals, to capture
developer interest and accommodate preferred
timelines.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
The following actions are major projects and initiatives that will advance this project.
4. Engage property owners and potential buyers to
communicate development potential and coordinate
site planning for highest and best use which supports
this Revitalization Plan.
5. The City can be an interim owner in cases where
acquisition timing may require some short-term
assistance.
6. Assist developers with off -site improvements and
include utility upgrades, sidewalk and curb cut
improvement, and laterals. Pedestrian oriented street
lighting also may benefit additional walkable housing
infill.

5.1 SUMMARY +
OBJECTIVES
The Mobility portion of this
Revitalization Plan provides detailed
design concepts to implement roads
proposals which are part of the
adopted Downtown Area Plan in the
General Plan. Recommended new
roadway concepts will augment those
proposals for Downtown - promising a
truly walkable heart of Beaumont.
OVERVIEW: REVITALIZATION
THROUGH MOBILITY
The future of transportation in Downtown Beaumont will
emphasize active streets made vibrant and economically
resilient through human mobility. Emphasizing this in balance with cars means significant reconfiguration of Beaumont Ave and 6th St through the study area to enhance the safety and comfort of walking to homes, businesses, restaurants, and public spaces. The updated General Plan, more specifically its Downtown Area Plan element, already proposes custom street sections for Downtown that narrow travel ways - often to two lanes each way. In return, the community will benefit from greater margins of safety, public parking, street trees, and more usable sidewalks. This Revitalization Plan demonstrates how those street sections are best applied along the length of their respective roadway segments. Fundamental to these projects are two basic determinations: 1) That Downtown streets are oversized for current and future local trip volumes, even when considering assumptions made in the application of regional traffic models. The City must reclaim and re -frame the purpose
