Memorandum Agenda Item No: 13 TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council Rose Beverley, City Manager FROM: Osei Amo-Mensah AICP, Director of Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Madeline Knecht on behalf of Phan T. Nguygen for a zoning change from General Retail (GR) to Commercial (C) in the City of Paris, Block 315, Lot 13, LCAD 50943, located at 4225 Lamar Ave. MTG. DATE: February 24, 2025 BACKGROUND Madeline Knecht on behalf of property owner Phan T. Nguygen is requesting a zoning change from a General Retail (GR) to Commercial (C). The subject property is approximately a 1.745 acres tract located at 4225 Lamar Avenue. There are currently existing buildings/structures on the lot that will be demolished to make way for the new construction of Auto Repair Service of brakes and rotor. The business name is Brake Plus. In previous times, there was a separate residential building to the back of the property and retail & service type building such as nails and tattoos to the front. The current future land use is guided by High Density Residential (HDR); therefore, this rezoning action will not be in accordance with the city's comprehensive plan. Hence, an application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment for future land use from High Density Residential (HDR) to Commercial (C) is required. ANALYSIS • The land to the North is part undeveloped, zoned part Agriculture (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 undeveloped. • 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.
