TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council City Manager, Rose Beverly FROM: Osei Amo-Mensah, Director Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Michael Brothers, a Texas General Partnership for a zoning change from an Agricultural District (A) to a Commercial District (C) with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Trailer Rental or Sales on LCAD 58969. Legal Description: City of Paris, Block 307-B, Lot 5, 3705 N Main St. MTG. DATE: March 23, 2026 BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking a Zoning Change from an Agricultural District (A) to a Commercial District (C). A quarter of the lot to the northwest comer is an existing building occupied by Rhino's Ammo, LLC, a retailer of firearms, ammo, bows, etc. The rest of the lot is vacant and proposed to be used as a trailer rental or sales to the existing business. To establish a trailer rental or sales business, it is only allowed in a commercial zoning district with a Specific Use permit. This requirement has necessitated the need for a zoning change to allow for the proposed use for a trailer rental or sales business. The lot size is 1.03 acres. Furthermore, the Future Land Use Map for this lot is guided by Commercial (C) hence there is no need for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment of the said property. Access and connection 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 measure must be provided to the south portions of adjacent residential zoning districts to minimize incompatible uses between residential and retail uses, to minimize noise or nuisance. s 12Specific Use Permits. 12-100 SPECIFIC USE PERMITS The City Council of the City of Paris, Texas, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected and after recommendations by the Planning and Zoning Commission may authorize the issuance of specific use permits for the following types of uses in the following districts: Trailer Rental or Sales in the Commercial (C) zoning district.
