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: r"I "Self-storage/mini warehouses must have a specific use permit (S) to locate in a Commercial (C) zoning district in. the City of Paris, Texas." According to Section 12-101 of the Zoning Ordinance, "The city staff shall review and recommend said Special Use Permit request and the Planning and Zoning Commission in considering and determining its recommendation and the City Council on any request for a Specific Use Permit shall require from the applicant Site plans and supportive plans, information, operating data and expert evaluation concerning the location, function and characteristics of any building or use proposed, The City Council may, in the interest of the public welfare and to assure compliance with this ordinance, establish conditions of operation, location, arrangement and construction of any use for which a pen -nit is authorized." The applicant wants to add a Tattoo and Body Piercing Shop to the existing Self -Storage Mini Warehouse; however, the current zoning that is Agricultural (A) is not appropriate for such use type. Invariably, the existing Self -Storage Mini Warehouse under the current Agricultural (A) District is classified as a nonconforming use. Therefore, the best option to add the Tattoo and Body Piercing Shop to the existing Self -Storage Mini Warehouse is to require a zoning change from Agricultural (A) to Commercial (C) District. This proposed zoning change will apparently trigger the existing Self -Storage Mini Warehouse to be permitted under Specific Use Permit. The zoning change at this site location from Agricultural (A) to Commercial (C) will be compatible with the Surrounding areas. Invariably, the Future Land Use Map indicates that the property in question and surrounding areas is guided for Commercial (C), making it appropriate for future uses. This condition allows for zoning change and becomes compatible for future growth. All improvements and construction shall conform to the standards required by the City of Paris.
