Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council Rose Beverly, City Manager FROM: Osei Amo-Mensah, AICP, Director Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of James O'Bryan, DVM for a zoning change from a Single -Family Dwelling (SF - 2) District to a General Retail (GR) District with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Veterinary Clinic -Large Animals on LCAD 13152. Legal Description: Mayer Addition, Block 8, Lot 1 & 2, 3147 Bonham St. DATE: May 04, 2026 BACKGROUND On Monday, May 4, 2026, the City of Paris Planning & Zoning Commission held its regular meeting and deliberated on the Zoning Change with Special use Permit (SUP) application, where the Commission voted to recommend approval of the item above. The applicant James O'Bryan, DVM is requesting a zoning change from Single -Family Dwelling (SF -2) District to a General Retail (GR) District with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Veterinary Clinic -Large Animals. The lot is approximately 79,200sgft. (1.82 acres) and currently vacant. The applicant is proposing to construct a new Veterinary Clinic with a concentration on large animals. To establish a Veterinary Clinic business, it is only allowed in a General Retail (GR) 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 Veterinary Clinic. Furthermore, the Future Land Use Map for this lot is guided by Retail (R) and one-third portion to the back being Low Density Residential (LDR) 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 or commercial uses, probably due to odor pollution or noise nuisance. i 'Specific Use Permits. 1.2-100 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 fol.1owin.g types of uses i.n the following districts: Page 1 of 4
