DATE: February 24, 2025 BACKGROUND The applicant Madeline Knecht on behalf of property owner Phan T. Nguygen is seeking a minor amendment to the Comprehensive Plan being a High Density Residential (HDR) to provide for a Commercial Density (C) for Future Land Use Map of the property. The lot is currently zoned General Retail (GR) District, in the City of Paris, Block 315, Lot 13, LCAD 50943, (1.745 acres) located at 4225 Lamar Ave. Also, on this agenda (Item 2) is a zoning change request from General Retail (GR) to Commercial (C). Good access and connections to utilities are available at this location. Commercial development in this location will provide conformity and will serve the immediate and long-term needs of the vicinity. However, an appropriate buffer must be provided to the northwest portion of adjacent residential zoning district to minimize incompatible uses between Residential and Automobile repair noise or nuisance. ANALYSIS • The land to the North is part undeveloped, zoned part Agricultural (A) District and Single Family (SF -2) District to the northwest (and is guided for High Density Residential -HDR). • The land directly across from Lamar Avenue to the South is zoned Commercial (C) District, which is guided for Retail (R) and developed as commercial businesses such as carwash and gas station. • The land to the East is zoned Planned Development (PD) District and guided for Low Density Residential (LDR) and is currently being developed for senior apartments. • The land to the West is zoned General Retail (GR) District at the lower portion toward Lamar Avenue with Jewelry store which is guided for Retail (R) while the upper portion is zoned Single Family Dwelling SF -2 District and guided for Low Density Residential (LDR) which is currently developed as single-family dwellings.
