'Penn Mart' Project Proposed For Beaumont

BEAUMONT, CA — A request to build a gas station, a 24-hour convenience store, a quick-service restaurant, and an automated carwash on vacant land along Beaumont's Pennsylvania Avenue will get a public hearing Wednesday night during the regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

JSJ Property Holdings, LLC is the applicant for the proposal dubbed the "Penn Mart" project that is slated for 1.33 acres along the north side of Interstate 10, south of Sixth Street.

The gasoline/service station would feature six fuel pumps with 12 fueling spots and a 3,504-square-foot canopy. A 3,400-square-foot convenience store and a 1,292-square-foot quick-service restaurant are also proposed at the site. A drive-thru carwash would feature a 2,295-square-foot building with a single drive-thru lane.

The project was originally scheduled for a City Council public hearing on February 8 but was continued off-calendar to resolve some outstanding issues, including traffic impact analysis, preliminary water quality management plan, preliminary hydrology study, driveway location and sewer analysis, according to city documents.

There is no ABC alcohol sales application being filed with the state for the project, according to city documents.

Wednesday's 6 p.m. Beaumont City Council meeting takes place at 550 E. Sixth Street. Find the full meeting agenda here.
