Public hearing declared closed. Motion was made by John Lee, seconded by Rick Hundley to approve the zoning change from a Commercial District (C) to a Commercial District (C) with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Self -Service Storage Facility. Motion carried 7-0. 5. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of the City of Paris, Texas to update Zoning Ordinance No. 1710 of the City of Paris, Texas, specifically modifying regulations for Accessory Residential Dwelling Units. Godwin advised this has been on the agenda for discussion previously regarding Section 13 of the zoning ordinance regulating accessory buildings within the city. Since the December meeting, based on commission input Godwin advised he restricted placement of a separate driveway and limited the size of the accessory to no more than 35% of the size of the primary dwelling. City recommends approval of the attached ordinance to the city council. Flowers states he only has a problem with where it says no covered parking allowed. Godwin advised the reason for it is that you don't want it to be like a real house and that would be no separate water meter, sewer, driveway or car port. The accessory building would be dependent on the main structure. O'Bryan states the language needs to be changed so the main structure and accessory dwelling unit can be built concurrently. Lee states a lot of the verbiage here are solutions for problems that he hasn't really become aware of. He is not comfortable that we will have it that well done when we really don't know what the magnitude of the bulk of the issues will be. He is open for more discussion. Godwin advised he doesn't want to wait until the next problem arises before this issue is addressed. Public hearing declared open. No one spoke in favor nor against. Public hearing declared closed. Motion was made by Mihir Pankaj. Seconded by Chad Lindsey to approve the adoption of ordinance Section 13. Accessory Building Regulations sub -section 13.102 Regulations for Accessory Residential Dwelling Units with noted revisions to item H.1. by changing the language to concurrent construction of both a primary and accessory dwelling unit, as well as change the language on item J to include (1) covered parking space per resident and eliminating item K. Motion carried 7-1 with John Lee in opposition.
