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 Paul Stoll of Plan Z Developments LLC for a Zoning Change from a One -Family Dwelling No. 2 (SF2) to Commercial (C) on part of LCAD 18277 (5.97 acres). Legal Description: City of Paris, Block 259, Lot PT of 14, N Collegiate Dr & Pine ' e1 MTG. 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 rezoning 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 zoning change petition, where the Commission voted to recommend approval of the item above. 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, Paul Stoll of Plan Z Developments is seeking a Zoning Change from a One -Family Dwelling No. 2 (SF2) to Commercial (C). The lot is currently vacant and zoned a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2), in the City of Paris, Block 259, Lot PT of 14, being a portion of LCAD 18277, (5.97 acres) located at N. Collegiate Drive and Pine Mill Road. Furthermore, on this Agenda (Items 4) there is an application to also amend the Future Land Use Map from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail (R) 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 buffer must be provided to the south and west portions of adjacent residential zone districts to minimize incompatible uses between residential and commercial uses, probably due to noise, light or another nuisance.
