DATE: March 23, 2026 BACKGROUND: The City Council heard this case on August 25, 2025, where a motion to table the case was approved. City Council agreed to have a workshop to gain clarity and more information on the case to make a meaningful decision. Moreover, it was recommended that the applicant, Mr. Paul Stoll and the concerned residents have a meeting to discuss and resolve the issues to come out with an amicable understanding relating to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment of the property. On Monday, August 4, 2025, the City of Paris Planning & Zoning Commission held its regular meeting and there was an extensive deliberation on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment petition, where the Commission voted to recommend approval of the item above. City Manager Rose Beverly held a staff meeting on Thursday, August 28, 2025, that involved legal, Planning & Community Development, and Engineering Departments to deliberate on the cases. It was concluded that a City Council workshop will be scheduled and that staff will have to prepare a much more detailed presentation with visual maps of the vicinity in question for council members to have a better understanding of the issue in question. The concerned residents and Mr. Paul Stoll arranged for a meeting and met on September 4, 2025. During the deliberations, it was discovered that one of the notices with the map of the proposed zoning request was inaccurate and included a portion that was not supposed to be added. This omission created confusion among some residents whose properties were adjoining the area in question. Since then, staff corrected the error and updated the City Council during a workshop session held on September 9, 2025. The applicant and owner Paul Stoll of Plan Z development is seeking an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan being Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail (R) for Future Land Use Map of the property.
