the comprehensive plan amendment. Motion carried 6-0. 7. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Adam Bolton on behalf of Austin Sugg for a change in zoning from a Commercial District (C) to a Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) in the City of Paris, Block 170-C, Lot 12, located at 2296 SE 3rd Street- LCAD 71599. (Mack states items 7 and 8 are dealing with the same property and therefore requests action to be taken on item 8 first then move back to item 7. Motion approved 6-0 to rearrange order of agenda.) Mack states that Austin Sugg is requesting a zoning change of the subject property in order to construct two duplexes on the lot. Staff is recommending the zoning change and will initiate the changes for the May cycle of Planning & Zoning cases. The public hearing was declared open. With no one speaking, the public hearing was declared closed. Tylesha Ross -Mosley asked when would the remaining properties in this area be brought forth for amending the comprehensive plan. Mack states this will be on the May agenda after notification to the property owners. A motion was made by Clifton Fendley and seconded by Austin Anthony to approve the zoning change. Motion carried 6-0. 8. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Adam Bolton on behalf of Austin Sugg for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Commercial (C) to Low Density Residential (LDR) in the City of Paris, Block 170-C, Lot 12, located at 2296 SE 3rd Street- LCAD 71599. Mack states that Austin Sugg has requested a minor Comprehensive Plan amendment from Commercial to Low Density Residential for this single vacant lot. Staff has not initiated a future land use map amendment for additional surrounding properties at this time. It is the staff's opinion; this should be done to create a larger cohesive future land use area for guiding development or redevelopment of this side of 3rd Street SE. This would be far more consistent with the existing low-density residential character of the area, rather than for incremental conflicts for commercial development interspersed within the residential neighborhood. Staff is of the position that the Commission and City Council should be prepared to make these changes to the City's adopted future land use map, along all or a portion of this two -block area of 3rd SE between South Church and Loop 286. If the Commission and City Council are amenable to making changes to the future land use map guiding future residential development, then staff will initiate these changes. Staff recommends approval of this request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Commercial to Low Density Residential, provided the city initiates a larger area change to the future land use map based upon the current and future uses of this two -block area along SE 3rd St.
