M E M 0 R A N D U M TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Lisa A. Wright, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Zoning Change Request - Allen's Auto Parts 2306 W. Kaufman Street DATE: June 2, 3008 The following zoning change request will be presented at the June 2, 2008, meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the June 9, 2008, meeting of the City Council of the City of Paris for consideration: 1. Terry Allen is requesting that the property located on Lot 18, Block 203, Scott & Braden Addition, being number 2306 West Kaufman, be rezoned from a One Family Dwelling District No. 2(SF-2) to a Commercial District (C). The Comprehensive Plan recommends that this property be zoned Low Density Residential. Approval of this request would require an amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Map. Additionally, on May 29, 2008, the City of Paris was presented with a petition from property owners adjoining the above-subject property in opposition of the zoning change request (attached). Section 21-105 of Zoning Ordinance No. 1710 states as follows: "Unless a proposed amendment, supplement or change has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, or if a protest against such proposed amendment, supplement or change has been filed with the City Secretary, duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of twenty (20) percenl or more either of the area of the lots included in such a proposed change or those immediately adjacent in the rear thereof extending two hundred (200) feet theref'rom or of those directly opposite thereto extending hvo hundred (200) feetfrom the streetfrontage of such opposite lots, such amendment shall not become effective except by a three-fourths vote of the governing body." (emphasis added) After reviewing the petition, I have found that it contains fifteen (15) signatures from neighbors in the vicinity of the requested change, with thirty-two percent (32%) of adjoining property owners as described in Section 21-105 above having signed the petition. cc: City Attorney's Office .
