6. 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 Planned Development Districts. Godwin states Planned Development districts are intended to be used to allow integration of multiple land uses on large tracts. Godwin is recommending a minimum of ten acres for Planned Developments, smaller than in many municipalities, but an improvement over current practice in Paris. The final development plan, showing all integrated uses and how they will fit into and affect surrounding properties becomes the custom-built zoning district. A smaller area without very specific planning and performance standards cannot support a truly integrated mixed-use project. O'Bryan asked if developers have room to negotiate the minimum acreage. Godwin states you can make exceptions because Planned Developments are a negotiated deal. If you approve a PD, the site plan that shows where all the buildings and driveways are becomes the zoning ordinance, which is enforceable by law. Like any zoning ordinance, it can be amended. Motion was made by Chad Lindsey, seconded by John Lee to approve this item. Motion carried 7-0. 7. Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, Block A of the Tylers 's Pizzeria Addition, located at 3610 N Main Street. Easton states the owner is proposing to remodel the existing building to be a pizza restaurant and has submitted a preliminary plat of the property. Water is available to the site along US 271 N but that actual location of the water main must be identified and proper easements dedicated as needed. Easton states we are working with them on their water and sewer. Easton recommends approval with the following revisions: 1. Provide a site plan showing all proposed changes to the existing structures and parking areas, water and sewer services, fire lanes, fire hydrants, and green space. 2. Provide a 20' utility easement along the frontage of US 271 N. 3. Identify the fire lane access easement. 4. Clarify ROW/Easement along the south property line, and show dimensions.
