Item No. 18 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 Donald Wilson on behalf of Sunrise Ministries Intl Church for a change in zoning from a Neighborhood Service District (NS) to a Commercial District (C) in the City of Paris, Block 249, Lot 35-A, located at 3055 Clarksville Street- LCAD 17987. DATE: May 23, 2022 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION The applicant requested a rezoning change from NS to C to permit the remodeling of a closed nursing home into a storage rental facility. The use is a prohibited use in the NS District, but is a permitted SUP in the C District. On 5/2/22 the P&Z recommended approval of the rezoning. ANALYSIS The subject property is zoned NS, is guided for retail in the front half and low density residential in the rear half, and is a vacant former nursing home structure. The vacant structure has been the subject of numerous vandalism break-ins over the years since closing, including the illegal overnight sleeping of trespassers. The land to the West is zoned C, is guided for retail, and is a commercial detail shop The land to the North is zoned SF -2, is guided for Low Density Residential, and are single family residences. • The land to the East is zoned NS, is guided for retail, and is an office building. A rezoning application to Commercial is pending for this property. • The land to the South is Zoned PD, is guided for Office, and is a large commercial shopping center. The change in zoning will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed commercial use of the property is more consistent with the existing commercial development along this immediate street area. The change in zoning will permit the conversion of the former nursing home to a commercial use of the property and bring an end to the vandalism that has occurred upon the property for years.
