Item Nos. 15 & 16 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 Ryan Whitaker for a Minor Master Thoroughfare Plan Amendment altering part of the proposed minor arterial roadway section A-3, on LCAD Parcel 50201, in the City of Paris, Block 317, Lot PT 10, A7 Askins Survey, located in the 2300 Block of NE 36th Street. -And- Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of the City of Paris for a Minor Master Thoroughfare Plan Amendment altering part of the proposed minor arterial roadway section A-3, on LCAD Parcel 50218, A7 Askins Survey, Tract 8, located at 2330 NE 36th Street. DATE: November 14, 2022 BACKGROUND At its 10/3/22 meeting the Planning & Zoning Commission tabled action for both these items. Following that meeting, City Council also tabled action on these items pending action on the previous agenda. The reasons were that the Development Staff Team believes this classification, as shown on the plan between FM 195 and Lamar Avenue (TH 82), was unrealistic as drawn (see attached exhibit). Staff believes the origin of this segment of the plan pre -dates the majority of development in this portion of the city over the past 30+ years. Although Mr. Whitaker was required to apply for the amendment, Staff strongly recommended that this entire segment be temporarily removed in its entirety. This would afford plenty of additional time for the City to study this portion of the future extension of the arterial out into the future growth area of the Northwest portion of the City to accommodate new development over time. As seen in the previous agenda item, this strategy was advanced as recommended by staff for approval by the P&Z. Original Background on these requests were as follows: Staff has reviewed the above segment of the Master Thoroughfare Plan in relation to the approved Little Hollow Estates 10 Lot Subdivision along 36th St. NE just South of Smallwood Rd. As condition to plat approval by the City, the Master Thoroughfare Plan was required to be amended Page 1 of 2
