Item No. 15 TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of the City of Paris, Texas for a zoning map amendment in the Brownwood Addition from a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 1 (MF -1) to a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) and a zoning map amendment to the Davenwick, LLC Property LCAD 116525 from a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (MF - 2) to a One -Family Dwelling District No.2 (SF -2). DATE: July 26, 2021 BACKGROUND An Ordinance amending the zoning map was established in 1983 for a 25.03 acre tract of land from Agricultural and Light Industrial to Multiple -Family District No. 1 (Ord. No. 83-006). The ,Brownwood Addition was later developed in late 1999- early 2000's with single-family homes. Following the Commission's 6/16/21 work session, the City of Paris initiated a zoning map amendment for this area to maintain the character of this neighborhood consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and existing developed single family land uses. The hearing was held by the Planning & Zoning Commission on July 6, 2021. Testimony and inputs were received by a number of property owners both in favor and against the proposed zoning map changes. Following the conduct of the public hearing and the receipt of overwhelming objections by the property owners and potential developers of the vacant undeveloped 3.6 acre MF -2 site owned by Davenwick, LLC, the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the application they initiated. There were, however, no objections to the rezoning of the developed single family lots in the Brownwood Addition. Due to the fact that the hearing was published as a single action item, the changes could not be altered to remove the 3.6 acre unplatted tract from the rezoning action. Hence the P&Z recommendation to deny (see attached 7/6/21 P&Z Minutes). Based upon the Commission's action, staff subsequently initiated withdraw of the application now before the City Council for acceptance (please see attached memo). Additionally, based upon the concurrence of the P&Z Chair, the rezoning of only the Brownwood Subdivision single family lots were again advertised as a new hearing and a second round of notices were mailed out. The new hearing will be conducted by the P&Z on August 2na
