Item No. 22 TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Duke McGee, Assistant Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the petition of Nathan Spaulding for Lone Star Planned Developments, LLC on behalf of Benny and Pat Short for a zoning change from an Agricultural District (A) to a Commercial District (C) in the City of Paris, Block 352, Lot PT of 7, LCAD 110221 and Gibson Valley Estates, Block A, Lot 1, LCAD 101305 (4.86 acres) in the 4200 Block of SE Loop 286 MTG. DATE: January 22, 2024 BACKGROUND Nathan Spaulding for Lone Star Planned Developments, LLC on behalf of Benny and Pat Short is requesting a zoning change from A to C. The subject property is a 4.86 acre tract that fronts the 286 Loop. The property is being re -guided from Low Density Residential to Commercial in support of this zoning change. Therefore, this zoning action will be in accordance with the city's comprehensive plan. ANALYSIS The land to the West is zoned Agriculture is guided for Low Density Residential and is currently undeveloped. The land to the East and across the 286 Loop is zoned Commercial, is guided for Commercial and is currently undeveloped. The land to the North is zoned Agriculture, is guided for Low Density Residential and is currently undeveloped. The land directly to the South is zoned Agriculture and is home to Covenant Christian Church. A little further South is the entry to Cedar Parks Subdivision. Given the location of this area with direct access to the 286 Loop; staff believes this area is well situated for Commercial development. It would also serve as a buffer zone between the high traffic use on the 286 Loop and the guided use of adjacent property. City water and sewer are available near this site. All improvements to the lot shall conform to the standards required by the City of Paris.
