Item No. 18 Memorandum TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the petition of Mitch Milam, Texas Land Direct, LLC for a change in zoning from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) to a Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) in the City of Paris, Block 281, Lot 6, LCAD 18409, located at 1610 NE 15th Street. MTG. DATE: December 12, 2022 BACKGROUND The applicant requested a rezoning change from SF -3 to 217, which would permit the future construction of new duplexes. In initial discussion with the applicant, there was interest expressed for entering the 5 In 5 Infill Housing Program and to potentially include the land to the South which is eligible for tax foreclosure. After further discussion with the applicant, Mr. Milam concluded that his rezoning request to 2F was incorrect to meet the future marketing plans for the sale and development of the property. He has no plans at this time to develop the property. As a result, he has submitted the attached request for tabling action on this application in order to re -submit the request for MF -1. This will need to be re - advertised with new notices mailed out to the neighborhood. The P&Z opened the Public Hearing and received comments from Shirley Thomas the landowner of an undeveloped lot to the West. She did not express objection to the change, but was in attendance to hear the discussion on the request. The P&Z then approved a motion to continue the hearing to their January 3, 2023 meeting. The Council will not need to do this since the application rezoning to 2F has become a moot point given the applicant has now requested to revise the request to MF -1 thereby withdrawing the request for 2F. City Council will conduct the public hearing on this new application at its January 23, 2023 meeting. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council pass over this item.
