Item No. 12 M I emorandum 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 Michael McAfee for a change in zoning from a Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) to a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (MF -2) in the City of Paris, Block 220-A, Lot 9A & 6, located at 1905 E Price Street- LCAD 22040. DATE: October 25, 2021 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION Michael McAfee initially requested a zoning change from 2F to MF -2 to permit a planned remodel of the vacant former day care on this property to a residential dormitory. The initial application was withdrawn, but then subsequently re -submitted. He has stated that he is at this time uncertain if it will be remodeled to a dormitory type residence. From past reports on the previous day care operation at this site, it was a very well respected and most popular day care operation in the City of Paris for years. Price Street is very narrow & needs upgrade, but is used as a secondary means of accessing the site from Lamar Avenue. ANALYSIS The subject area is zoned Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) with the Future Land Use Map guided for Low Density Residential between Price to Pine Mill Streets. The land area to the West is: Zoned PD after being rezoned from 2F District; it is guided for Low Density Residential; and is a vacant lot. The land area to the North is zoned 2F, including the subject property which is a combined parcel through lot; it is guided for Low Density Residential; and consists of single family residences along Pine Mill Street with a number of mature deciduous trees. This portion of the property is excluded from the rezoning application (which would result in `split zoning' on the parcel). The land area to the East is zoned Office and General Retail; it is guided for Low Density Residential; and consists of single family residential uses with businesses along 20th Street NE. The land area to the South is zoned Commercial and MF -1; it is guided for Low Density Residential along Price, and Commercial further South along Lamar; and consists of one and two-family dwellings and businesses along 19th St. NE, and a hotel and commercial businesses fronting Lamar. CITIZEN INPUT Concerns were expressed by the resident to the east regarding increased traffic impacts on the narrow Price Street. The street has existed this way for many years and should be considered for upgrade by the City at some point in the future, however, as with the day care operation, it will not be used as a primary means of accessing the subject property.
