ORDINANCE NO. 324
(AS AMENDED, by Ord. Nos. 393, 397,424,430,471 and 483)
INTRODUCTION
Ordinance No. 324 of the City of Beaumont, known also as the "Sub-
division Ordinance", was adopted October 17, 1960. Subsequently,
six (6) other Ordinances (393, 397, 424, 430, 471 and 483) have been
adopted, which altered, repealed, or added to the original document.
The following text has been prepared to present Ordinance 324 as it
now exists, with all changes included. Research and compilation
was done by this writer, and by Greg Donges, Consulting Planner for
the City.

Ordinance No. 483, adopted in February of 1977, was simple, but poorly
written. Its sole purpose was to replace the term "City Council"
with the term "Planning Commission" in certain portions of the
Ordinance previously altered by Ordinance No. 471. However, exactly
where the change was to be made is not clear. The asterisk (*)
indi-
cates those places where this writer has assumed the change was
meant to be applied.

of Ordinance No. 471 contained penciled instructions to

that the underlined sentence was adopted as part of that
and remains as a valid portion of the City's Subdivision
Of historical interest, please note that Ordinance No. 324 was not
the first Subdivision Ordinance adopted by the City of Beaumont. In
May of 1958, Ordinance No. 295 was adopted as the first Subdivision
Ordinance, and two (2) months later, in July of 1958, Ordinance No.
296 was adopted, which repealed Ordinance No. 295 in its entirety,
citing "great economical loss" and "preservation of the public peace"
as its causes for enactment.
