Regular City Council Meeting <br />May 8, 2003 <br />Page 14 <br /> <br />Starrett advised this would entitle the community and property owners to multi- <br />millions of dollars of potential grant money and low interest loans and aid to <br />their properties. He simply requested that as the next step in this process that the <br />City Council adopt these classifications of zoning. <br /> <br />Linda Vanderberg, 540 21st N.E., appeared stating that she would like to speak <br />about the increase in heavy tourism that this could create by adopting this <br />ordinance. Ms. Vanderberg stated that 1.9 million dollars is spent by tourists in <br />Texas everyday and heritage travelers stay an average of 3.2 nights as compared <br />to 2.7 nights for non-heritage travelers and they normally stay in public lodging <br />instead of with friends and relatives. She said that heritage tourism can create <br />jobs, increase retail sales, and generate sales tax revenues. She felt by approving <br />this ordinance, they can begin to create a present and future source of income for <br />individual businesses, the city, and at the same time, begin to take a step toward <br />preservation of the heritage of Paris. <br /> <br />No one else appeared, and the public hearing was declared closed. <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. 2003-019 <br /> <br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, <br />PARIS, TEXAS, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1710, THE ZONING <br />ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TO AMEND SUBSECTION 3-100 <br />OF SECTION 3, ENTITLED "ZONING DISTRICTS ESTABLISHED," TO <br />EXPAND THE NUMBER OF DESIGNATED ZONING DISTRICTS TO <br />INCLUDE A HISTORIC DISTRICT (HD) DESIGNATION; AMENDING <br />ORDINANCE NO. 1710, THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF <br />PARIS, TO ADD A NEW SUBSECTION 3-101 TO ESTABLISH OVERLAY <br />DISTRICTS; AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1710, THE ZONING <br />ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TO AMEND SUBSECTIONS 8-101, <br />8-102, 8-103, 8-104, 8-105, 8-106, 8-107, AND 8-108 OF SECTION 8, <br />ENTITLED "USE OF LAND AND BUILDINGS," TO INCORPORATE <br />HISTORIC DISTRICTS AS DESIGNATED DISTRICTS; AMENDING <br />SECTION 8, OF ORDINANCE NO. 1710, THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF <br /> <br /> <br />
