Item No. 23 an, ON, 01 0 M'� TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and 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 Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Master Thoroughfare Plan by removing the planned extension of a collector street for Pine Mill Road West of Collegiate Drive Designated as Proposed Future Collector Roadway #C-9 DATE: April 25, 2022 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION Staff has reviewed the attached proposed collector street segment of the Master Thoroughfare Plan in relation to a new proposed subdivision development planned along the east side of the intersection of Highland Road and 25th Street NE. The proposed collector street negatively impacts a planned development of this site. Furthermore, the larger area between 25th and Main Street does not afford a good and reasonably straight connection between the two major roadways without severe jogging at multiple intersections, or costly acquisition of private property and demolition of several houses. Accordingly, the best roadway planning decision is to amend the plan by removing this planned Collector Street. At its meeting held on April 4, 2022, the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the minor amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Master Thoroughfare Plan by removing the planned extension of a collector street for Pine Mill Road West of Collegiate Drive Designated as Proposed Future Collector Roadway #C-9
