Item No. 17 Memorandum TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: Discuss, conduct a public hearing, and act on an Ordinance considering the petition of Bruce Pearson for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Public Lands & Institutions (PLI) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) in the City of Paris, Block 127, Part of Lot 3, containing 125 ft. of LCAD 16081 +/- 0.84 acre (35,380 sf) located in the 800 block of W. Kaufman Street. MTG. DATE: September 26, 2022 BACKGROUND The applicant requested a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment from PLI to MDR for guiding the rezoning of new multi -family units consistent with the comprehensive plan. Mr. Pearson indicated they would be planned for single story units, but hasn't determined how many structures and units would fit on the property. The subject property is also proposed for a subdivision lot division with remodeled police garage remaining on the north portion of the parcel. The P&Z recommended approval at its 9/6/22 meeting. 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 guided for Retail. • The land to the North is guided for Public Lands and Institutional. • The land to the East is guided for Low Density Residential. • The land to the South is guided for Low Density Residential. The change in the Comprehensive Plan FLUM for residential future use of the property is more consistent with the surrounding residential development along this immediate street area. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the change to the Comprehensive Plan FLUM from PLI to MDR for guiding the rezoning of new multi -family units consistent with the comprehensive plan.
