4. Conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the petition of Mark Homer and Monica Clement for a zoning change from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF2) to a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 1 (MF 1) in the City of Paris, Block 222A, Lot PT 18, LCAD 17458 and 17459, located in the 2400 Block E Price St. Triniti Frazier presented this item stating that Mark Homer and Monica Clement plan to construct four new duplex structures on this site. It is currently two lots but they have plats on this agenda to combine the lots. They are requesting to go from SF2 to MF1. Our Land Use Plan is guided for medium density residential in this area from NE 21 st Street to NE 25th Street. The parking is planned to be onsite and traffic should not be an issue at this location. City water and sewer are available to the site. If approved, this change will further the transition of this area to a medium density residential area. The public hearing was declared open. Larry Walker, 350 N Collegiate Drive, states that he is the Engineer for this project. Walker states he wants to address the drainage issue that was brought up. He plans to provide on-site detention areas to handle any extra water. Walker further states that he works closely with the City Engineer on all of his projects. There will not be any more water than that is currently leaving the site. Walker advised there is a plan to put a road down the middle of the site with construction of two duplexes on either side of the road. There will be a few detention areas because of the way the site is set up to take care of any extra water they are creating. With no one else speaking the public hearing was declared closed. Commissioner Lindsey asked why we are looking at MF 1 zoning here when we have zoning specifically for duplexes. Staff liaison Frazier responded that 2F zoning allows for one duplex structure on the lot. The applicant is proposing four duplexes so MFI is required. A Motion to approve the zoning change from SF -2 to MF -1 was made by Board Member Chad Lindsey and seconded by Board Member Tylesha Ross -Mosley. Motion carried, 5 ayes — 0 nays. 5. Conduct a public hearing, discuss and act on an Ordinance regarding the petition of the City of Paris, Texas to update the Subdivision Regulations of the City of Paris, Texas, specifically to amend Exhibit 9A — Subdivision Ordinance for preliminary and final platting. Todd Mittge presented this item stating he is proposing a modification to the Subdivision Ordinance that specifically addresses platting with recommendations for the commission to consider and take to City Council. Mittge states this summer the State legislature made some changes to what is allowed in platting state-wide. On September 1' some changes were adopted, clarifying what the shot clock is regarding when it starts and when it can be interrupted with revisions. In this meeting and the next we are making sure that our City Subdivision Ordinance falls in line with the State law. The shot clock redefinition is relatively minor but one major thing you will see in next month's P&Z meeting in December are the City's requirements for a developer to have a new road through their property and the developer pay for it has been removed. The City will still have right-of- way dedication for a street at platting. Also an amendment is proposed regarding the location and size of all existing utilities to be located by 811 location services and shown
