Motion carried 4-0. <br />4. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Jessie Bridges for a <br />change in zoning from an Office District (0) to a General Retail District (GR), in the City <br />of Paris, Block 220 A, Lot 1, located at 203 NE 20th Street.. <br />Easton states the applicant is requesting a zoning change in order to accommodate a second <br />hand thrift store. There are residential uses directly in the area and the future land use calls <br />for the area to be low density residential. General Retail zoning allows uses that are too <br />intensive for a residential neighborhood for example hotel or motel, private club or <br />restaurant, therefore, city staff does not support this request. There are ways to allow for <br />an antique store by specific use permit in the current zoning. <br />
